Getting from All Inn Hotel to Red Rocks couldn’t be more straightforward. The Colfax Avenue to I-70 directions are refreshingly simple: head west and keep going. No complicated turns, no getting lost in residential neighborhoods—just pure momentum toward the mountains.
From our front door, point yourself west on Colfax Avenue and maintain that direction for about 8 miles. The street carries you straight to I-70’s on-ramps without any tricky navigation. You’ll skip downtown traffic and avoid countless stoplights—it’s the kind of route locals use when they want momentum over scenery.
