FAQs

We recommend flying into Denver International Airport (DIA).

Copper is a roughly 1.4 hr drive from Denver. For those arriving Thursday by 3:30pm, we will have rental cars to transport you to the Lodge. This will be coordinated prior to the retreat.
If you need to arrive much later than our pickup window, we recommend shuttle services such as the Epic Mountain Express or Summit Express. Both offer round trip or one way options to Copper directly from Denver airport. If this is you, reach out for specific instructions!
