Private Transportation Services in Aspen, Colorado
Comfortable, Reliable Transport for Every Adventure
Getting around Aspen — and getting to the wilderness trailheads, rivers, and lakes that make this valley special — requires local knowledge and reliable transportation. Rich Valley Adventures provides private transportation services that connect you seamlessly to every adventure we offer, and to the broader Roaring Fork Valley.
Our primary transport vehicle is a luxury Cadillac Escalade — spacious, comfortable, and capable of handling Aspen's mountain roads in any season. Whether you need an airport pickup from Aspen/Pitkin County Airport or Eagle County Regional Airport, a shuttle to the Maroon Bells Wilderness trailhead, or transport between adventures across the valley, we provide professional door-to-door service.
Transportation can be booked as a standalone service or bundled with any guided adventure. Bundle bookings receive discounted transport pricing.

Airport Transfers — Aspen & Eagle County Airports
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) is one of the most scenic and operationally demanding airports in the United States, sitting at 7,820 feet elevation with challenging approach and departure procedures. Flights operate on limited schedules and weather cancellations are common — which makes reliable ground transportation from someone who knows local conditions essential.
We offer private transfers from ASE directly to your Aspen hotel, rental property, or residence. For guests flying into Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) in Glenwood Springs — approximately 70 miles from Aspen — we provide comfortable inter-valley transfers that make the most of the spectacular drive through Glenwood Canyon and up the Roaring Fork Valley.
Maroon Bells Shuttle & Adventure Transport
During summer, the road to Maroon Lake is restricted to shuttle buses after 8am — but private transportation for active recreation access is permitted with proper coordination. We navigate the permit system so you arrive at the trailhead when you want, not when the bus schedule allows.
For fly fishing trips on the Frying Pan or Crystal River, mountain biking shuttles to distant trailheads, or paddle board equipment transport to Ruedi Reservoir — our Escalade handles the logistics while you relax and enjoy the scenery. All adventure bookings include complimentary local transport within a 15-mile radius of Aspen.
