Colorado weather question

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

Just got back from Colorado. What a beautiful state...I want to retire there now. So sick of crowded California. We had perfect weather, in fact it was colder here when we got back.

Glad you enjoyed your trip! I hope I'm able to move back there someday--I miss the mountains.
