    Holy shit, we saw remnants of hail on 285 on Friday, but was offline all weekend at the Sand Dunes so had no idea. Left Boulder at 3:45, sounds like we might have dodged a bullet!

    driving out of DIA around 11 AM on Thursday. Heading for Wolf Creek. What is the best route? Got stuck in the 70 construction in March. Is this avoidable? Rather drive 285 but open to 25 if it will be faster out of the city.

    I-225 to I-25N to Hampden (Hwy 285). I'd check Google Maps and Waze to see on the morning of to see if this option is required...

    You could do 225 to 25 to 285 in town if you really wanted to avoid any time on 70. Although in the middle of the day you're probably better off just taking 70 to 470 to 285.
    go upside down.

    I'd go ahead and just switch your flight to ABQ

    285 route is prettier but is more weather prone you have 190 miles of mostly 2 lane road.

    E470->I25->US160 sounds much more straightforward driving and avoids traversing Denver... I mean unless there is a blizzard hitting CS/Pueblo.

    Yea do ABQ, or COS, or SAF, if it doesn't add an airport connection. Cuts an hour off your drive. But not worth adding a connection. That time of year there might be UA or AA direct flights to DRO from big places like ORD, DFW, LAX, PHX and HOU... but flying to Durango can be pricey. You can fly from DEN. Don't fly inside CO. One little storm over CO and your lil bitty regional turbo prop is delayed or cancelled.

    Have you driven I-25 to/from CoSpgs lately? It's a total crapshoot whether you're going to end up in a clusterfuck on par with other I-70/I-25 shitshows.

    No I haven't driven that lately I try to avoid driving east of Idaho Springs unless there is an airport involved.
    Good to know

    I looked at that in the past also Durango. Have a couple hundred pounds of fish I am bringing down frozen. Have to minimize time at airports without freezer storage.
    Came up 470 to 70 and got stuck in the traffic. Thanks will probably do the 225 to 25 to 285 . There probably is an up to the minute site to check on 70 delays I could check

    Stay away from I70 through Denver. It’s a construction mess. Fly into ABQ

    Yeah, cotrip.org and their app is basically useless.

    I started playing with configuring their text alerts last Winter. It was hard to fine tune and I was getting bombarded to the point where I ignored my phone.

    Came down Saturday PM from the mountains. Was smooth sailing until Bakerville, then an hour of traffic to Georgetown. Yet another semi truck fire at the bottom of the hill. This seems to be happening once a month at that spot 🤬

    Drove by the wreckage yesterday with one of my clients in the car, they asked if it was hit by a missile. Sure as shit looked like it.

    BFD, just use Google maps. Don't try to plan a route ahead of time. Trust in your Google overlords

    For whatever reason, the fastest way to get CDOT updates is on Twitter. Don't know why, but the app seems to lag behind

    Thanks I have never used it. Did not realize it routes by traffic conditions.

    traveling at night and early in the morning opposite typical mountain rush hour seems to be the ticket
    or start walking you'll be to the airport before you know it
    wednesday night last week was money the whole way up the mountain
    some guy wanted to race down from the tunnel, very fun, topped out just over 90 averaged 85 he had the left lane I had the right lane we used the centerlane for passing
    good time by all

    yep, and it chooses all kinds of different routes. For ex, yesterday I threw in DIA to Wolf Creek, and it had the straightforward 70-C470-285, with heading down I-25 17 minutes slower. Right now, it has you going north on E470 to 76, then 76 to 70 to C470 to 285 (which is a weird route). Going E470 south to 25 is 12 minutes slower.

    FYI, some of these routes (E470 and maybe 225?) have tolls. You can set Google Maps to avoid tolls if a toll road is a deal breaker.

    No tolls on I-225.

    Thanks, that's pretty much Kansas to me so it must have been the toll on my well being that I felt.

    It was avoiding typical rush hour congestion. Pena-70-470-285 is going to be the fastest and simplest option most of the time, construction hasn't really made traffic much worse through there - it's been terrible for years.
