My wife and I are taking the family for a vacation in Estes Park. We’ll be heading there from Denver, so what’s our best route?

Estes Park
is one of the most beautiful locations in
Colorado
, and it’s a great place for a family vacation! The best route from
Denver
to Estes Park is via US-36 West, aka the Denver/Boulder Turnpike.
This route will take about 1.5 hours and covers approximately 66 miles, so you’re in for a pretty quick trip. But once you get north of
Boulder
, you’ll be in the mountains—not a great place to be without help in case of an accident, a breakdown, or even just a flat tire.
Be sure you and your family are protected with reliable
car insurance
and consider adding
towing and labor coverage
to your policy in case of a breakdown. The experts at
Jerry
can help you secure the coverage you need in no time!
