For a Planet unto itself we are remarkably accessible. All major airlines (and many minor ones) fly into Denver International Airport, which is about an hour's drive from the Planet. We are just 25 minutes north of Downtown Boulder, and an hour from Denver or Fort Collins. We encourage people to walk, ride their bicycle, or carpool to Planet Bluegrass. For information about carpooling to the Wildflower concerts, visit the ride board at www.festivarian.com.
