Scientist-to-Scientist Leaders and Co-chairs,

Our Mountain Administrative Services Center (MASC) website has very

comprehensive information on visiting Boulder, for your 27,28 October

Scientist-to-Scientist trip. Please see:

http://www.masc.noaa.gov/masc/visiting.html

for maps, driving directions from DIA, information on entering the site

here, lodging, and much more.

You should feel free to pick from any of the Boulder hotels, as we are

not getting a block of rooms at a particular hotel. With your

government identification, most Boulder hotels offer the U.S.

government rate of \$93/night + tax, and some may offer even better

rates. Several popular hotels, that are relatively close to the Boulder

Labs meeting site, are the Boulder Broker Inn, the Boulder Outlook

Hotel and Suites, the Millennium Harvest House, and the Best Westerns

(either Best Western Golden Buff or Best Western Boulder Inn). Shuttle

services from DIA to Boulder generally serve all the hotels. Two

shuttle options you might consider are -

Boulder SuperShuttle, 303-227-0000

Cost is \$20 first passenger, \$10 each additional passenger. They

depart DIA at 10 minutes past the hour, from 6:10am to 12:10am (i.e.

just after midnight).

Boulder Express, 303-457-4646 or 1-888-457-4646

Cost is \$15 one way or \$28 round trip

Departure to Boulder, they say, is usually within 35 minutes after you

purchase your ticket, and sometimes sooner.

The shuttle customer service counters are found on the west side of the

Jeppesen terminal, in the baggage claim area (level 5, same general

area as the rental car agencies).

I hope this initial information is useful to you in planning your trip

for the October Scientist-to-Scientist meeting. Please do let me know

if you have any questions.
