Eagle Airport [airport code is EGE] is about 20-30 minutes from Edwards. You can rent a car or arrange for a shuttle service via Epic Mountain Express. They can take your from the airport to your hotel. Eagle Airport is very convenient, but it's a smaller airport and flights tend to be more expensive. Denver International [DIA] is another good option with rental cars and shuttles available.
Denver International Airport [DEN] offers many more options in terms of direct nonstop routes for flights. Since it will be summertime, driving from Denver to Edwards is a great option if you choose to fly into Denver Airport. The drive takes about 2-2.5 hours, and has incredible views of the mountains and historic mines of Colorado. We recommend getting an express lane pass if you rent a car [they will offer this at the rental place], as the drive back can sometimes be a bit congested. It has definitely saved us on a few Sunday afternoon returns to Denver. You can also fly into Denver and take a connecting flight to Eagle Airport as well.
Epic Mountain Express Discount code has been arranged for our guests if flying into DIA or Eagle Airport.
This provides a 10% discount off our public rates on all of EME’s services at both DEN and EGE airports.
Dates available for travel starting on Wednesday, August 6th through Wednesday, August 13th.

TRAVEL TIP: If you are sensitive or new to being in high altitudes, we recommend flying to Denver a day early and spending the night in Boulder before heading up to Edwards. It’s a good way to acclimate to the high altitude a bit more slowly and allows your body to adjust. If you have the time to come early- we have found that this is the easiest way to adjust.
