Not to rain on the current parade, but you never know. Especially at F9 where the relationship with DIA is strained at the moment. Some of my FO's have been in continuous reserve for over a decade.

2:30 after the first contact attempt. But you get to park in front of the terminal. What a contractual get.

You can make it no problem 2 hours from FTC to the crew lounge. If you are worried on time/traffic/weather then use E-470.
Plus F9 guys on reserve can bid ahead for trips in open time for a little more schedule flexibility.

Or if you are really concerned bid for long call reserve.

From CSU campus to the employee lot is about 1 hour using E470. That is $5.40 if you have an ExpressToll tag (toll plaza E and D @$2.70ea) Very doable.

Wife's friend is an F9 captain that used to live in Windsor. She said it would take her about an hour and she would take E-470 since it was just easier.

If I-25 is jacked take Mulberry st out of Ft Collins straight east to Ault, Co. Turn right on hwy 85 and exit on E-470. Take about an hour maybe an hour and ten or so.
