Colorado weather question

[caseysmom]

I can't find the e-470 on any maps but the rental car place assured me I can buy the toll pass from them when I get the car. I wasn't sure about the weather so I rented an SUV I could have gotten a sedan for half the price so when we get closer I may change that if I can.

Its a two day orientation so I may cut the second day short a bit to make up for any bad traffic we may run into.

Thanks Phred, I was looking for it down by Colorado Springs, it looks like i need to connect from the 25 to the e470 to ease my way into Denver.

That's right. It'll take you around Denver to the east, on a more direct route to the airport.

I will just make sure to leave the academy by 2:30 for our 7:30 flight. The Academy has an early bus leaving to the Colorado Springs airport which we didn't fly into but it wont be a problem for her and I to leave at that time since others will be leaving.

My only concern is I am taking my gps and I doubt it will register the E470 and I do much better with my gps.

Is it all pretty straight forward?

GPS should pick up E-470. It's been there awhile--it opened well before I left Denver, and that was three years ago. It's easy to find in any event. The exit from I-25 to E-470 is down in the far south suburbs, so it's not like trying to find an exit in the middle of the city. And I believe E-470 will take you right to Pena Blvd., which takes you to the airport.

Actually I mapped it on mapquest and it picked up the e470, I was afraid since its a toll road it wouldn't
