US 36 in Colorado

We are leaving Colorado Springs next week for Estes Park and Google gas us taking I25 to 36 vs just staying on I25. How is 36?

    Oh, you will, there will just be a lot of pain involved. And wait till you get to Estes Park unless its around 2 in the morning.

    He means 36 from Denver to Lyons v I-25 to Loveland and then to Lyons.
    (but I'm sure you knew that.........)

    As a prior 30 year resident of Denver area do the I-25 to Loveland route if you want quicker, or 36 if you want slower, more hilly and much prettier. Having done both, towing a 28ft 5er, I actually prefer the 36 route. :)
  • Took that route a few weeks ago - you won't have any issues.
