Transportation from Denver International Airport
The Homewood Suites by Hilton is about 40 miles from Denver International Airport, and the easiest means of transportation to and from the airport is by car. We recommend taking E-470 and the Northwest Parkway, which are tolls amounting to $8, one way. This route tends to have the least traffic at any given time of day. The following link shows the route via Google Maps:

It is also possible to get to the hotel without using the toll roads, but this route is more congested and takes you closer to downtown Denver. The following link shows this route in Google Maps:

Transportation from Hotel to Tech-X
The Homewood Suites by Hilton is slightly less than 2 miles from the Tech-X offices. It is easy to travel on foot, via public transportation, or by car.
Weather
Boulder is a beautiful city located in the sunny foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The region is very dry, leading to warm sunny days and cooler nights. It is not unheard of to have short afternoon showers throughout the summer and into fall. Typical temperatures during August are 80's during the day, dropping into the 50s at night. Due to the arid climate, it is recommended that visitors drink plenty of water during their stay.
