We will be heading from Rocky Mountain NP to Colorado Springs in a few weeks on a Friday. Any tips on routes or best time to travel through Denver?
I would suggest taking US 36 down to Lyons, and in Lyons take CO 66 east to I-25, the north Longmont interchange. I-25 SB all the way through, if you can make it between around 10am and 2pm. If you can make these times work, it's really not too difficult going straight through. Try to stay in the 2nd from the right lane if possible, the far right lane gets congested in places. I even sometimes get in the middle lane (3rd out of 4), but prefer the 2nd lane. But that's just me... ;)
There's construction on the north end of the metro area, around 136th Ave and 120th Ave. There's also a repaving operation going on currently in the area of I-25/E-470 interchange on I-25, with milling/grinding work going on, making for uneven lanes. This may or may not be completed by the time you're going to be travelling.
