i am planning to drive from denver, and want to go to aspen and vail and stop at glenwood springs along the way. it is better to go from denver to aspen then vail, or to go from denver to vail then aspen. which makes more sense driving wise.
You go west on Interstate 70, and it'll take you right to Vail.
The driving distance from Colorado Springs Airport to Vail is 170 miles.
