Give me some good pointers if you will.

Hey, Bill, I don't hold a candle to either of the two previous posters in
terms of experience, but I have been to Denver twice in the last year or
so, the most recent being last week where I landed and hangared at Erie
Muni, just east/southeast or so of Boulder.

If you can plan a before-noon arrival into Boulder, you will be less likely
to encounter strong t-storms that seem to build over the mountains during
the morning hours, then drift eastward after noon. I am not sure how
September's weather differs from July's though. Perhaps it is more benign.

I didn't heed my own advice last week and instead arrived VFR ahead of a
cell and had to scramble once down to unload the aircraft before the rain
arrived.

Also, if you haven't already, pick up a copy of the Denver Terminal chart
(even if you are IFR, in the event you want to depart VFR to pick up your
clearance) so that you know the class B shelf altitudes. Just north and
west of Denver, there are all kinds of class B altitudes for you to watch
if you are VFR.
