Help - best route from SE Aurora to downtown Boulder

[birchyboy]

Hi all,

I've got to go to Boulder tomorrow morning to meet with a contractor. He usually comes to my house, but I though this is a good way to get a ride in and get paid mileage :-)

I've always gone I-70 -> 270 -> 36 to get there, but I'm betting that will be a real b!tch tomorrow morning given that I want to get there by 9:00 am. Can anyone suggest an alternate route that will keep the ride to about 60 mins but avoid all the traffic?

Thanks!
Alan

E-470.

There's a lot of ways to Boulder, but time of day, traffic limits, etc., no other option. Tolls are write-offs.

Get creative and take 6th ave west to and up golden gate, over to nederland and down boulder canyon :D

Ditto on the E-470 thing. If time is any concern, just eat the tolls.

Thanks for the tips.

Sully - yours sounds like the most fun but is likely longer than the 60 mins I have.

Just leave earlier.... throw the liner in your jacket and go :)

Or... C-470 over to Deer Creek, then over to Turkey Creek, into Evergreen, I-70 to Central City Speedway into Blackhawk, P2P over to Nederland and down Boulder Canyon. ;)

I just realized this person is already into work..... moot point by now, lol
