Well, it really depends on how you like to drive. If, let's say, you are from the frenetic bustle of the east coast and you are only truly happy driving when your bumper is nearly touching the tailpipe in front of you - then you will think the drive is cake! If, however, you are from a small, quiet town I would suggest having someone else play limo driver for you while you pay for the gas! From approximately 6:30 - 9:30 am and 3 - 6:30 pm the drive can be frustrating due to frequent stops, slower moving traffic, and the inevitable organ donors whipping between traffic. Yet, if you have infinite patience it really does not take very long to approach downtown, even from locations near the outskirts of suburbia like Wheatridge or near DIA. It is pretty much a straight shot downtown and the lights for traffic emerging onto the highways have greatly reduced problems with traffic flow. There will be days, however, that you will inevitably be late because one person in front of you is having a bad day and made a mistake. My suggestion is that it really is not that bad if you have patience and you should pad your departure time to arrive promptly.
