It depends on which airport and where you start. Pick any Colorado airport from the table on this page to open its own drive time calculator, then enter your address for a road-distance estimate and a recommended departure time.
Compare actual drive times rather than map distances — terrain and highway layout mean the nearest airport is often not the quickest to reach. Each Colorado airport page lists the other airports within 200 miles so you can check the alternatives side by side.
