Not sure what you mean, but we booked round-trip airfare from Atlanta to Denver. At that time it was around $200 round-trip for each ticket.

Thank you so much for such a wealth of information, you have given me great ideas for a similar trip from Denver to Oregon... trying to decide if a 3 hour detour to Jackson Hole would be worth it, or stick to the suggested route and head near Salt Lake City... I have always heard about Jackson and wanted to go there so we shall see!! Thanks again, great trip story!

If you're looking for a better detour than Cheyenne, try Laramie, WY. There is an old fort museum and the university for attractions. Then you can take hwy 287 through Ft. Collins, CO back to I-25 into Denver.
