Just a FYI about the mention of Hwy 6 from Golden to Idaho Springs. There has been a lot of recent construction activity in the canyon so make sure and check before taking that road. It could very well be wrapped up by now but was at the intersection of Hwy 6 and Hwy 93 a few weeks ago and Hwy 6 was closed West due to construction.
As mentioned multiple times for the OP, you will be going slow. The good thing on I70 is where there are ascents, the right hand lane is generally filled with slow moving traffic; big rigs, RVs and other slow movers, some with flashers on. Best to stick to the right lane if you are moving at a slower pace.
