We'll be headed south on I25 to I70 east this Summer through Denver. If I simply continue south on I25 to I70 I can avoid the $33 toll. Right?

Right. However, you don't need to go all the way down to I-70. You can take I-270, which cuts across from I-25 to I-70. It exits off I-25SB TO THE LEFT, so if you choose this option, watch for the signage for a LEFT exit for Aurora. If you go this way, make sure to do so preferrably after 10am, when the traffic won't be so bad.

There are other alternatives that us locals use. I get off I-25 at exit 235 (the Dacono exit), and take CO 52 through Ft Lupton and on to Hudson, to the intersection with CO 79, then take that south to Bennett, where you can get on I-70. The minor traffic in Ft. Lupton is nothing compared to what you might experience if you stay on the interstate. And if you time it right, after 10am, there should be no problems with this route and traffic.
