Routes north from Denver
Entering and exiting Denver has become a nightmare of late, especially I25 north. Does anyone have any secrets for maintaining one's sanity when entering or exiting the city's north side?

Head north on CR 49 (a four lane road) up to US 34 and head back east four miles to US 85 north. Quicker and you miss all the stop lights on US 85 through Brighton, Ft. Lupton, Evans, etc. It's our preferred route to Greeley from the south.Old-Biscuit wrote:On our recent trip we took 85 to Greeley and north to its junction with I-80. It was a huge improvement over I-25. Thanks for the suggestion!
Have you tried State Route 85 to Greeley?

The Boulder-Denver Turnpike (Rt 36) will not be the road to take for a while until they get THAT new problem resolved :S
THAT problem may be with us a while...:E
Besides, it runs northwest...
