01
Meet before heading west
Gather in Denver, Golden, or Lakewood before the climb up Clear Creek Canyon so the whole group leaves from one place.
Casino night in the mountains
Plan the Black Hawk trip before leaving Denver.
Mountain travel and a late return call for a firm departure time, one pickup location, and a group that understands the schedule.

Build the plan
Account for the drive both ways
Choose the casino destination, meeting point, departure time, and return time before anyone starts playing.
02
Allow mountain travel time
The drive into the mountains is slower than city miles, especially in snow. Leave a cushion for weather and weekend traffic on the canyon roads.
03
Name the casino stop
Name the casino you are heading to, since Black Hawk and Central City properties sit on different streets with different entrances.
04
Set a firm departure
Choose a return time and stick to it. A firm leaving time keeps the group from scattering across several casino floors at midnight.
