We had a fantastic time on two significant fronts. 
First, was the quality of lectures
and the warmth of Christian love. . . .
The second was the natural surroundings. 
Such beauty, such excitement, 
at seeing the mountain animals
moving freely among the lodges,
grazing at their leisure.

The YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park Center, is northwest of Denver so plan to fly into Denver International Airport (DIA). If you need ground shuttle transportation to the YMCA (about 90 minutes from the airport but may take longer because of stops along the way), be sure to check the shuttle times below.

Price is $55 one way; $95 round trip. Pickup times at DIA: 8:00 or 10:00 am and 1:00, 4:00, 7:00 or 10:00 pm. Plan to allow at least 45 minutes from flight arrival to shuttle departure. Pick up times at YMCA for return to DIA: 5:00, 7:00, or 10:00 am and 1:00, 4:00, or 7:00 pm. Allow two hours travel time from the YMCA plus at least 90 minutes for airport check-in.
