Travel Information

Travel to Denver is easy -- by air, train, or car. Plan to enjoy a springtime trip to the Mile High City!

 

By Air

Take note, the opening program begins earlier than usual this year (Thursday at 3:45 p.m.); also, the Thursday evening dinner event requires a 50-minute charter bus ride from the conference hotel to the foothills west of Denver--so please plan your arrival time accordingly!

RTD (the Denver bus system) and SkyRide from the Airport to Downtown

Public transit via city bus from Denver International Airport (DIA) to downtown Denver is called the RTD Skyride. The route you need is the AF route. It costs $8 one way and takes about 50 minutes (roundtrip advance purchase is a good bargain for $14). The website URL with schedules is: http://www.rtd-denver.com/.

At the airport, board the Skyride RTD bus on the west side of the terminal at Island 5, outside Door 506. Or you may board from the east side of the terminal outside Door 511.

Get off the bus at Market Street Station in downtown Denver. Then catch the free downtown 16th Street Mall shuttle located at the south exit of the Market Street Station. Ride the shuttle eastbound, 7 blocks, to California Street.
