From there, your journey to Steamboat Springs covers approximately 156 miles and typically takes around three hours in clear conditions.

This second leg of the trip on US-40 is where the scenery really opens up. The highway climbs over the Continental Divide at Berthoud Pass and later crosses Rabbit Ears Pass, known for its distinctive rock formation and stunning winter landscapes. This part of the drive requires experienced navigation, especially during snowfall. Our professional drivers are experts on this route, ensuring a safe and efficient trip so you can relax and enjoy the view.
