Do you have to deal with driving through Denver? Try these suggestions. Get gas on the outskirts and drive through Denver. This will help you avoid having to stop in busy unknown areas. Just concentrate on the traffic and your exits and you'll get through just fine. From Kansas on I-70. Just stay on 70
From I-80 Kansas, take I-76 to Denver and follow it to I-70
From I-25 going South take I-76 West then I-70 West. Missed I-76? Then take I-70 exit West.
Fpr Northbound I-25 take Hwy 470 West then North and merge with I-70 West
