CARPOOL SERVICES
Caravan
Caravan is an app that connects Denver riders and drivers with others looking to carpool to high country mountain resorts. Caravan is an environmental and social platform that connects passengers for free, while excluding any type of monetary transaction. Through Caravan, ride sharing will reduce the amount of emissions and congestion on the I-70 Mountain Corridor at peak travel times.
A round trip from Denver to Silverthorne can cost $75 and results in more than 110 pounds of carbon dioxide. Whether you want to save money or save our environment, there's no reason not to carpool to the mountains!

Dinosaur Lots in Golden
The Dinosaur Lots are an ideal place to begin and end a carpool. Located at the Morrison exit (#259) and I-70, on the west side of Denver. (ADDRESS FOR MAPPING:18560 US Hwy 40, Golden CO 80401 ). Overnight parking IS allowed.
There are three separate lots. The Woolly Mammoth is the large, newer lot and has plenty of lighting. Woolly Mammoth Lot with 918 spots is where most skiers tend to meet up. The T-Rex Lot has 156 spots and the Stegosaurus has 117 spots. The T-Rex has no lighting at all so is not ideal for nighttime use.
