Is Littleton a good base for exploring both Denver and the mountains? Yes, from Littleton, you can easily get to both downtown Denver (20–30 minutes) and the mountains using C-470. It's a quieter place to stay than downtown Denver but still lets you easily reach major attractions and mountain spots.
Do I need an all-wheel-drive vehicle when staying in Littleton? For just driving around Littleton and the Denver area, you'll be fine with a standard 2WD car most of the year. But if you plan to visit the mountains or travel in the winter (November–April), we recommend an AWD/4WD car to stay safe when it snows.
What's the best way to avoid traffic when traveling from Littleton to downtown Denver? Try to avoid rush hour on Santa Fe Drive and I-25. That's from 7–9 AM heading north and 4–6:30 PM heading south. You can also take the RTD light rail to get downtown during busy times. If you have to drive during rush hour, plan for an extra 15–20 minutes for your trip or use a traffic app for live updates.
Are there any scenic drives easily accessible from Littleton? Yes, you can easily get to several scenic routes. The Lariat Loop starts in nearby Golden and has mountain views and historic sites. Deer Creek Canyon Road is a beautiful drive into the foothills. For a longer trip, you can drive to Georgetown on I-70 or to Evergreen on Highway 74 for amazing mountain views.
How does the light rail system work for transportation to downtown Denver? Littleton has three RTD light rail stations on the D Line that take you straight to downtown Denver: Littleton Downtown, Littleton–Mineral and Oxford–City of Sheridan. During busy times, trains run about every 15 minutes and about every 30 minutes at other times. If you live in the district, you can park for free for up to 24 hours at the station's Park-n-Ride lots. People who live outside the district pay a $4 daily fee after the first day. This makes the light rail a great choice for getting to downtown events without driving.
