Boulder is about an hour drive from DIA (Denver International Airport), a major airport with direct flights to all over North America and to London and Frankfurt. Travellers from the Pacific will need to connect through LA or other west coast points. From DIA we suggest you can take a shuttle bus to Boulder. You may also take public transport, taxi, or rent a car.

• Shuttle Bus: The Boulder SuperShuttle runs small buses to Boulder every hour (up to about 11pm) and will drop you at your hotel or residence. Fares are about $20 - $26 one way, $38 - $48 return. They have a service counter near the fountain at the exit of the airport train where you can buy tickets. Look for their blue sign under the Ground Transportation sign.
  
  
• Public Transport: The RTD Skyride AB Bus drives to Boulder approximately once per hour (up to about 11pm). The bus you should catch is the AB bus. Fares are $10 one way, $18 return. RTD also has a service counter near the fountain where you can buy return tickets. You can also buy tickets from the driver, however exact change is required. Check the web site for a timetable and map.
  
  
• Other options are Taxis (around $80 and up to Boulder) and Rental Cars.

The Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau web site has maps, driving directions, and other information in the "Visiting Boulder" tab pull-down menu. The conference is being held at the University of Colorado Boulder Campus and on their web site you will find more visitor information. There's also a useful map of the drive from DIA from NCAR/MMM.

The conference has made arrangements for discounted rates with the following hotels. The rates have been blocked under the group name 7th ISTP or 7th International Tropospheric Symposium and are per night. Please make your reservations as soon as possible. Room blocks were to be released on 11 May 2006. The hotels are all within about 3/4 mile (1.2 km) of the conference venues. Please note that most hotels in the US require a credit card number to secure the reservation and may not accept wire transfers.
