Random- Denver to Colorado Springs question

[DisneyFirstTimer10]

I have to travel to Colorado Springs in a few months (from ohio) and wanted to see if anyone could give me advice before booking flights. I have two options-

1) fly to Denver, take connecting flight to Colorado Springs after 2 hour layover. I assume the plane from Denver to Colorado Springs will be tiny- I don't like tiny planes. At all.

2) fly direct to Denver and rent a car (which I will need to do either way) then drive to Colorado Springs. Never been to Colorado at all so driving worries me a tad.

No clue which is the better option. Financially it seems that it's cheaper to just drive from Denver but I'm not sure how much of a hassle that would be.

It's only about 70 miles between the two. Driving would be a lot faster.

It's not that far and an easy drive between Denver and the springs. Like any other city, just avoid rush hour if pissible. Be sure to take a quick drive through Garden of the Gods if time allows.
