This company's tactics are deceitful and feel like a scam. I was driving on a public road after exiting highway 36. I continued straight on the public road and after some time saw a sign stating that I was on a toll road. At no point did I turn off the public road, at no time did I go into a toll entrance, at no point did I exit from the public road, but I was now somehow on a toll road. I immediately looked for a way to get off the toll road after seeing the sign, but there was no opportunity to leave until after passing under their cameras. I received a bill in the mail and called to dispute it, explaining what I said above. They told me that even if I accidentally got on the toll road I still had to pay it. I disagree with labeling it as an accident, and if I had accidentally turned off a public road and onto a toll road I'd happily take accountability. But this was entrapment. I was tricked into being on the road, and at no point made any sort of choice to try and use their road. I can't understand how they were allowed to build the road this way, where the entrance to the toll road is indistinguishable from the public road (see attached photo showing the intersection where the toll road starts if you continue going straight). I am contacting the Colorado Department of Transportation as well to file a complaint. This is a disgusting business practice, to trick people into using something that they don't want and forcing them to pay for it. I am not someone who was using their road knowingly and is now trying to get out of the bill. It was the first time I'd ever fallen into their trap and they refused to waive the $6.60 after I explained the misunderstanding. They don't seem to care about scamming people, it seems that's their business model. I have paid the $6.60 so that they don't try and con me more with high fees and debt collectors/credit report hits. I believe they should refund that money and apologize for their deceptive practices.

Colorado Toll Roads and Express lanes are a disaster. 1000x overpriced to the point no one even drives on it. Ridiculous.

This is not a locally owned company and their late fees are exorbitant. Please know the one-star ratings are authentic.

This part has tolls, but it makes for a convenient ride, especially when many other roads are messy in winter. We leave Boulder on US 36 and continue to Northwest Parkway which merges into E-470. This takes us to Peña Blvd to Tower Rd to our offsite airport parking. On this particular morning, we caught a beautiful sunrise on the way. Sometimes we pass this way in the dark and sometimes into blinding sunlight. This time was perfect with just enough color.

I have lived in this area that is serviced by e470 for over 17 years and have never had an issue…read morewith my account. I do not have autopay however once my account dips below a certain amount, i am contacted by the billing department with a reminder to "charge up". Now while it doesn't cost to have a transponder/sticker tag, using the tolls can run quite a bit of money. But drivers know they have a choice. Running late to an appointment? Use 470. Have time to spare? Drive Gun Club. It's that simple. The Authority has an office just off Stephen Hogan Pkwy (former Aurora Mayor). E470 continues to make improvements, creating expansion lanes and installing deer fencing along heavily traffic routes. And the bonus? Free roadside assistance!! The location is also a good start and/or end point for riding the High Plains Trail.

This park is so heavily visited, so there are multiple visitor centers to help spread the load of…read moreaddressing all of the questions that tourists may have. Seriously, millions of visitors enjoy the park every year. I stayed in the gateway town of Estes Park, which is literally minutes away from the park entrance. I did the Nymph, Dream, Emerald, and Haiyaha Lakes via Nymph Lake Trail, as well as Bear Lake. The trails were in great condition, and even though the trails were heavily trafficked, everyone was pretty courteous. The views were simply amazing. Do note that you might need to be acclimated to the higher atmosphere (=thinner air) and so hiking may be more difficult than your usual if you're coming from lower elevations. I visited during elk mating season, and while I did see elk in the park, I saw even more in the parks of Estes Park!

Lived in denver for 17 years, traveled all over the world and this is my first trip to RMNP. Wow,…read morewhat was I thinking waiting so long. One of the Crown Jewels of the National Park Service, RMNP sits just outside of Estes Park and 90 minutes from Denver. We camped at Moraine Park and with that came a guaranteed timed entry and all access to the park. It was the perfect way to avoid booking entry to the park and separate booking for Bear Lake area. Our campsite had a phenomenal view on Long's Peak and was walking distance to Elk meadow. Every morning and evening we were front row to the bull elk bugling and enjoyed a great camping experience. We saw so much wildlife but the stand outs were, Moose. Elk. Deer. Coyotes. Fox. Marmot. Pika. Blue Jay. The park is a spectacular spotlight on the Rocky Mountains. We hiked from meadows to mountain tops and enjoyed many epic views and endless fresh air. Got caught in a big rain storm and watched a hiker find his missing keys!! Please note, elk meadow is restricted a bit during this time to let the elk mate. We watched a coupled disregard that and wander down to get wedding photos near the elk herd, wedding dress and all. Park security did not find that amusing. I'm sure those were very expensive wedding photos lol. So much to see and experience. Now I understand why every tourist coming to Colorado needs to see this park.

It was that time - to not only renew my license but also get a new photo…read more By scheduling my appointment a day ahead & confirming what I needed to bring with me (info is on their website) I was sure I was in for a quick visit. They even sent me a reminder text and email confirmation to show the check in employee. Upon arrival to the office I was 4th in line to enter (I got there about 5 minutes before my 4pm time slot). Some of us had appointments others questioned whether one was needed. Mind you there was a large sign just outside the doorway with a scannable QR code to make an appointment. The office was chalk full of people standing in line to speak to clerks and sitting. After checking in I sat down with my assigned number on a little piece of paper. I wish I'd packed a book as I was waiting for over an hour just to speak to the clerk. I must say I expected a lot more from my fellow Boulderites. Everyone I overheard said no to donating their organs and no to donation $1 to support organ donation awareness. When I finally made it up to the clerk I asked to be an organ donor and donate a dollar. They told me they had already gone by the screen to add my dollar donation. Sigh. I had the option to pay via card or cash. After confirming there was a processing fee for paying via card (which I did not hear them tell people about) I paid via cash. Next step was to wait on the other side of the room for my photo. This only took about 5 minutes. When I got up to take my photo they gave me direction on head positioning etc. Which was honestly a bit of a bummer (double chin in full effect in my photo) since I'd studied some online guides for how to get a good pic. At least I was able to show my teeth - unlike in a passport photo. They said my new license should arrive in 7-10 days. They weren't however sure if I could fly with my temporary license and old license with a hole in it. They advised I call my airline. All in all the employees were friendly. And while the wait time is less than ideal the experience is a necessary inconvenience.

I went up to the counter to check if they missed me and i was waved off and told "don't worry about it they will call you. take a seat." I went up twice, same answer. I go up to the person at the check in desk and find out that they never even checked me in. Waited over and hour, was waved off and not asked any questions, all for that. Lisa was covering the check in desk, and she ensured id be helped. She immediately got me up to the counter and i was out in 5 minutes. Lisa is amazing and a very kind person. She was so incredibly helpful and we would have waited there for another hour without her. The people working today are the reason DMVs get a bad rap. Kindness is intentional, and the people here chose not to be.
