Estes Park through Denver headed west

Currently I am in Estes Park and will be leaving in a few days heading west on I70. Does anyone know the best way to leave Estes to connect with I70 west without going through the messy traffic of Denver? Highway 7 looks promising but I am in a 40 footer towing a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hyw. 36 through Boulder looks OK but messy once you get through Boulder. Anyone have any ideas or a good route they have traveled? Thanks so much.

If you want to go through the City/Boulder and along the foothill by all means MISS one of the Great Colorado Drives. Drive is easy through some great country and misses a commuters drive between North/ Longmont/Lyons and South Denver/Golden - I will admit I like the Farmers Market in Boulder and the town of Golden but to miss Peak to Peak, not something I would ever not just argue about.

Trust us and take the drive, the only time I would miss it is the times I've done Trail Ridge and then gone down to Dillon, or on to Steamboat, but peak to Peak for a drive beats the drive down to Dillon.
