Colorado Springs (COS) offers a smaller alternative with direct flights from several hubs and can be cheaper for certain routes. Aspen (ASE), Vail/Eagle (EGE), and Montrose (MTJ) serve mountain resorts with seasonal direct flights from major cities, often at higher fares. Grand Junction (GJT) provides access to western Colorado with connections from Denver or limited direct flights."
