Denver International Airport (DIA) to Boulder

 

  1. Exit the airport through the toll plaza and head west on Peņa Boulevard, a four-lane highway.
  2. Take the first exit on Peņa Boulevard, the Tower Road Exit, and turn right onto Tower Road (heading north).
  3. At the second traffic light on Tower Road (about 2 miles), turn left onto 104th Avenue and head west again.
  4. Proceed on 104th Avenue for about 15 miles through the fields, highways, malls, auto dealerships, and McDonalds of the towns of Thornton and Westminster until you reach Rt. 36, the Boulder Turnpike.
  5. Turn right onto the Boulder Turnpike and head north(west) to Boulder. You will pass the towns of Louisville and Superior. After cresting the last hill and a scenic overlook, you will see Boulder spread out below the steep ridges to the west (the Flatirons).
  6. As the Boulder Turnpike enters Boulder, you will pass exits for Table Mesa Road, Foothills Parkway, and Baseline Road. After the Baseline Rd. exit, Rt. 36 turns into 28th Street, a city street.
  7. At the first traffic light since getting on the Boulder Turnpike, turn left onto Colorado Avenue. You'll now be heading west toward the mountains.
  8. At the first traffic light on Colorado (just a few hundred feet), turn left onto Regent Drive. You'll now be heading south.
  9. After getting on Regent Drive, turn left into the second parking lot entrance. You'll pass a big parking garage and the CU Police Station on your left and the Engineering Center on your right.
  10. Park in the pay spots to the right after you enter the lot entrance.

On Foot:

  1. Walk north on Regent Drive past the Police Station and cross over Regent Drive at the crosswalk near the first parking lot.
  2. Walk west (toward the mountains) under the Engineering Center, past the bike racks and the fountains, all the way to the elevator.
  3. Take the elevator to the fifth floor, exit, and turn left. Go down the hall to my office, OT517 ("OT" is for "office tower," "5" is the fifth floor). My phone number is 492-0772 if you can't find it.
