You're Practically Neighbors! (Except, You Know, Not Really)
So, you've got yourself an itch for adventure. Maybe Ottawa's gotten a little too... polite for you, and you're craving the Mile High City's mountain majesty (and legal weed, but that's beside the point). But before you blast "Take Me Home, Country Roads" (because, let's be honest, that's basically the national anthem of both places, right?), you might be wondering: exactly how far is Denver from Ottawa?
Well, buckle up, because you're in for a geographical journey that's almost as epic as your future Rocky Mountain adventures.

The Great Canadian-American Caper: Units Edition
First things first, we gotta talk units. Are you a kilometers kind of person, or do you measure freedom in miles? Because the answer can vary depending on your allegiance to the metric system or the good ol' fashioned American way.
Tip: Review key points when done.
- In kilometers: We're talking a cool 2,489 kilometers (or roughly 1,555 miles). That's a road trip that'll take you past some pretty epic scenery (think Great Lakes and endless prairies), but also a whole lot of gas station stops.
- In miles: If miles are your jam, then you're looking at a journey of 1,555 miles (or about 2,489 kilometers). See, no matter how you slice it, it's a trek.
Pro Tip: Download a killer audiobook or podcast collection. Because let's face it, even the most scenic highway gets boring after a while.
So, How Long Will it Actually Take?
Now, this depends on your travel mode. Here's a quick breakdown:
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
- By car: Buckle up for a 28-ish hour adventure. Road trip snacks are a must (and maybe a designated singer, because who wants to listen to the radio for that long?).
- By plane: If you're short on time (and patience), then a plane is your best bet. We're talking a comfy 3-4 hour flight. Just remember, airplane peanuts are not a meal.
**Important Note: Don't forget to factor in border crossing times, especially if you're driving. Patience is a virtue, my friend.

How to get there? Planes, trains, and automobiles (though trains might be a bit of a stretch for this route).
What to pack? Layers! The weather can change faster than you can say "poutine" in both cities.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Do I need a passport? Unless you're planning on hitchhiking through Narnia, then yes, you'll definitely need a passport to cross the border.
What about currency exchange? Canadian dollars won't get you far in Denver (unless you find a really cool antique store). Stock up on those American greenbacks!
What's the time difference? Denver is one hour behind Ottawa, so enjoy that extra hour of sleep (or pre-game, depending on your priorities).
So there you have it, folks! Now you're practically an expert on traveling from Ottawa to Denver. Just remember, the most important thing is to pack your sense of adventure (and maybe a winter coat, no matter what time of year you go). Happy travels!
