HOTELS
We have rooms booked for the nights of July 9, 10, 11 checking out on the 12th at the Holiday Inn Express in north Boulder and the Marriott Residence Inn. Upon check in, the hotel will collect a credit card from you in the event of incidentals such as movies, etc. However, your card should not be charged for the room itself. A breakfast is complimentary with your room.
AIRPORT AND TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM DIA
The Denver International Airport (DIA) is located east of Denver and approximately 50 miles from Boulder. There are websites to show the general location on our website. The Baggage claim is on Level 5 at the main terminal of the airport. Sales counters for most means of ground transportation are on that level also. We will not be reimbursing for rental cars as there are several shuttles and Ubers/Lyfts available.
TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE HOTEL
We will provide bus transportation from the hotel which you are booked to Foothills Lab via the CU Bus system. It will be at the lobby door at 8:05 a.m. in the mornings and will return participants to the hotels in the evenings. Please plan to be ready to board 5 minutes before the scheduled departure time. If you miss the bus, you will be responsible for making your own transportation arrangements to the workshop.
GENERAL NOTES ON THE AREA
Boulder is situated along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The days are usually warm this time of year (80 to 95 F.) But the evenings can be very nice (60 F). Often there are showers in the afternoon.
Boulder is a high-altitude city situated at 5,430 feet (more than a mile high). Therefore, if you are visiting from a lower altitude, you might experience some fatigue or dizziness. Do not worry. Drinking lots of water can help to alleviate most symptoms. Do not push yourself to run, or climb stairs quickly. Your body will adjust after a few days.
ATTIRE
This is a working scientific meeting and Boulder is an informal town, so casual to business casual is considered appropriate.
