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?

  • I am out of date, but used to like the Boulder Highway for going north and south.
  • I guess it depends on where you need to go. I have family in the PRoB region and if I am in Denver Town going north I will take 36 (yes, I know it is not much better) but not as bad as going I-25 north and picking up Baseline

    If I need to hit PRoB right from the mountains I take 93 and skirt behind Golden, but there is a portion on that road that really backs up at certain times.
  • E470, Pena Blvd, Tower Road, Highway 2, Highway 85, Wadsworth isn't bad, Ward Road, Highway 93. Those are the roads I use when I'm avoiding I-25. Timing is everything for a sane drive up that highway.
