The Wet Mountains tend to have the worst turbulence consistently so I
try to stay away from them, but time to time, I will get up around
16000 and get over them with little problems.

What VOR are those mountains near?

Easiest way to define them is to find the La Veta MOA. You can also
draw a line from Alamosa Co, to Pueblo, to 1V6 (Fremont County) back
to Alamosa and they are the mountains in that triangle.

Just curious, but what airport are you planning on going to in Denver?

My brother lives in Firestone, CO, which is directly north of Denver by
about 25 miles. The closest airports appear to be Platte Valley (18V) and
Erie Muni (48V), both of whom have pretty good fuel prices. I prefer a
hangar option for the few nights I will be there. Have any opinion on
either airport?

Well, Jefco (BJC) is probably the nicest towered airport with more
services. I never pay for the fuel there so I don't know what their
prices are, but they will have plenty of hanger space. I have never
been to 18V and I have only been to 48V twice to pickup props from
Rocky Mountain Propellers located on the field.
