Travel

Fly to Denver International Airport (DEN). It takes approximately 60–90 minutes to travel from the airport to Boulder, depending on your arrival time and mode of transportation. Options for travel from the airport:

  • Taking the RTD public bus is a favorite among locals; the AB1, AB2, and AB3 routes all travel between the airport and Boulder. If you’re staying at the conference hotel (Moxy Boulder University), take the AB1 bus westbound to the Broadway & Pleasant stop. Information on bus fares can be found here. 
  • Ride shares and taxis are also available at the airport.
