    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.

If you have both vehicles registered it will cost you $33 to use their toll road. If you drive two vehicles separately you will only pay a total $28, $14 each. If you're from out of the area or State and don't have both vehicles pre-registered with expresstoll you will pay $67 to use e470. If you have one vehicle registered tou will be charged at the non registered rate of $67. These rules also apply to vehicles towing trailers. So the Welcome to Denver tax is $67 if your an RVer.

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.

    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.

    Rocky Mountain National Park: Fantastic One-Day Visit…read more We only had one day to explore Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), so we made the most of it by hiking the Bear Lake Corridor and visiting Bear Lake, Nymph Lake, Dream Lake, and Emerald Lake. Getting an Early Start We reserved timed entry for both RMNP and the Bear Lake Corridor with a 5:00 AM entry time and entered through the Fall River Entrance. After talking with several Colorado locals, we were advised to arrive at the Bear Lake Trailhead before 5:00 AM to secure parking. We arrived around 4:30 AM, and that proved to be excellent advice. The early start rewarded us with peaceful trails, beautiful lighting, and very few people around. Hiking the Bear Lake Corridor Bear Lake is an easy, family-friendly hike of about 0.7 miles. The hike to Emerald Lake is more challenging, with approximately 1.6 miles of uphill climbing. The route passes Nymph Lake and Dream Lake before reaching Emerald Lake, and the scenery becomes more impressive with every step. The views and serenity were unmatched in the early morning hours. As we were leaving the Bear Lake area, the parking lots were completely full, and shuttle buses were already operating. Scenic Driving After the hike, we drove Old Fall River Road, a seasonal one-way dirt road that offers spectacular views and a unique driving experience. We also visited: Alpine Visitor Center Trail Ridge Cafe & Gift Shop. From there, we drove Trail Ridge Road back toward Estes Park. Along the way, we were fortunate to see: Elk Moose Bighorn sheep Seeing all three species in a single day was a highlight of our trip. Tips for Future Visitors: I highly recommend bringing: A cooler with drinks and snacks Sandwiches or a packed lunch Bug spray Sunscreen A sun hat At least one liter of water per person per hour hike. The AllTrails app (download maps in advance for navigation) The Trail Ridge Café can be crowded and expensive, so having your own food and drinks can save both time and money. Final Thoughts: Although we wished we had more than one day in Rocky Mountain National Park, we were touring Colorado for the week and had limited time. Even so, this was one of the highlights of our trip. With an early start, a little planning, and a willingness to explore beyond the main attractions, it's possible to experience some of the very best that RMNP has to offer in a single day.
