2007 WAAC Annual Meeting

Getting to and Getting Around Denver

By car:

Denver is accessed from the east and west via I-70 and I-80/I-76, and from the north and south via I-25. From I-70 or I-76 go south on I-25. From I-25, take Speer Blvd., South. Speer roughly follows Cherry Creek which flows northwest to southeast. Take any of the eastbound one-ways (left) between Market and Stout into Downtown. This can be a bit confusing because of the one-ways and the fact that the streets in Lower Downtown are on a diagonal north of Colfax. If you continue on southbound Speer, go left on Colfax and continue on Broadway to 13^th Avenue. You will pass the Colorado State Capitol on the left. At 13^th, the Colorado History Museum is on the left, the Denver Public Library is on the right and the Denver Art Museum is behind the library between 12^th and 14^th Avenues.
