Speaking of Red Rocks, wife wants to see a concert there. We would have to fly in to Denver and drive out. Just curious how is the drive and if there are any nearby places to stay. Don't want to make a long drive in traffic back to Denver at night if I can avoid it. Is Uber/Lyft an option?
Red Rocks is owned by the city of Denver. It is just W. of town. Very easy to get to from the airport. My rec for hotels is Lakewood (2 of the last 3 times I went to RR, I stayed at a Marriot or something in Lakewood) No city traffic between Lakewood & RR. If you want a bit more scenic, stay in Golden. Same deal, very close to RR - more expensive. Origin Hotel Red Rocks is as the name suggests right there & has a shuttle to the venue. Rooms are usually pretty pricey. It is a really well run venue. Parking is free. & something few people seem to know is that you can leave your car there until 10am the next day. You should go! Take layers. It is 6500 ft & can have big temp variations between start & ending of shows. yes. Plenty of uber/lyft/taxi options
Canada Joins Finland, UK, Denmark, Germany in Issuing New Travel Warnings for US: What You Need to Know - Travel And Tour World
Canadian air travel to the US down 71.4%-75.7%. For April, that means about 1 million fewer tickets. That, directly and indirectly is a drop in billions of dollar per month. Looking much worse than in the original post. Airline Demand Between Canada & United States Collapses, Down 70%+
on the plus side, more reward seats at saver award prices should open up to help fill those unsold seats...
Not just the US having a slowdown. Travel down 30% in Ireland. Tourism continues recent decline, with February numbers down again Tourism figures have continued to decline, with a 30pc drop in the number of foreign visitors coming to Ireland in February, according to the latest figures from the Central Statistics Office. Total spend by those visitors was €196m, excluding fares, which was also down over 30pc on the same month last year.
That number is almost too hard to believe. Maybe it is. "An Air Canada spokesperson told The Airline Observer that while bookings have declined, it has seen "significantly less" than the 70% average reported by OAG."

When the orange monkey and his band of simians have totally wrecked the country, I'm sure we can find a way to blame Biden if we try really hard.
