Map and Driving Directions to Registration

We are providing directions and maps for two different routes from Denver International Airport (DIA). The first route, via E-470 and the Northwest Parkway is more direct, but is via a toll-road. There are three tolls totaling $8, which must be paid in cash. Credit cards are not accepted. Please use bills of $20 or less. The second route, via Highways 76 and 36, is longer, but free. It is also more subject to traffic.

Link to driving directions via E-470 and the Northwest Parkway toll-road. Note that items 1-3 in the enumerated directions are basically just leaving the airport, and you really don't need to know the streets. Shortly thereafter you will see the sign for the toll-road to Boulder. Continue with instruction 4. (Please see the disclaimer below in reference to links to non-NIST web pages.)
