Another option to catch an even longer distance ride is to take the Fox Street (AKA Park Ave west/23rd St.) entrance ramp to I25/US87 north. There is a hotel and large gas station before this ramp which assures a solid amount of long distance traffic. ''In April 2016 I was at this spot, the entrance ramp did not work out after 45 minutes. At the gas station I found a ride in 20 minutes by asking people. One guy even bought me a coffee. The shopowner did not like me hanging around there and asked me to leave within 30 minutes.''
Arriving at Union Stion in Downtown Denver a very good option going north is to walk to 20th street and stand on the side of the bridge over South Plate River to stop cars getting on I-25 North. ''September 2019 I got a ride after 30 minutes in the sun all the way to Downtown Boulder from there.'' There is another on-ramp accessible by foot from Denver Uniton Station: Walk to Speer Blvd and try your luck. ''September 2019 I stood there for 20 minutes and then gave up as cars have no good place to stop there. I then walked to the other in my opinion way better spot near 20th street.''

Parts of downtown Denver, including the section of East Colfax between Broadway and Colorado Boulevard, and also the Five Points neighborhood northeast of the capital, are often considered by residents to be the most dangerous areas of the city. Opinions differ as to whether or not the reputation is deserved. Although at one point in the not so recent past areas such as Five Points had a high rate of poverty and crime, during the past decade getrification has generally reduced concerns for personal safety when visiting that area or almost any part of the city of Denver, at least for those familiar with seedier areas in large cities.
