It takes just under an hour from Highway 70 to the Aspen Highlands ski area. Unfortunately, there are no free parking spaces. At the valley station, there is the Aspen Highlands Garage with limited and paid parking spots. However, you can park for free at Buttermilk Mountain and use the free shuttle bus to Aspen Highlands.
