Denver International Airport is served by all major airlines with non-stop daily flights to 40 states. Amtrak provides passenger rail service with westbound passengers treated to a scenic route through the Rocky Mountains.
Denver is at the crossroads of three major interstate highways. Colorado 470 tollway is the southwest quarter of a new beltway highway system that encircles the metro area and provide easy access to the airport. The first segment of the eastern half of the new beltway has been completed.
Orienting oneself in Denver is made considerably easier by the natural landmark of the Rocky Mountains, readily visible to the west. Denver's street numbers are divided north and south by Ellsworth Avenue and east and west by Broadway. In general, east-west roads are called "avenues" and north-south designated as "streets." Above Ellsworth, the streets bear numbers; below Ellsworth the streets are named.
The Regional Transportation District (RTD) offers 170 bus routes, 14 miles of light rail and SkyRide transportation to and from Denver International Airport.
