Limon is known as the "Hub City" of Eastern Colorado as Interstate 70, U.S. Routes 24, 40, and 287, Colorado Highways 71 and 86, all cross paths here. Its location on the transportation system has resulted in its becoming a major gateway to Denver, Colorado Springs, Colorado's Mountains and the Pikes Peak Region. Its many hotels, resturants and gift shops create an opportunity for travelers to take a break before reaching the metro areas along Colorado's Front Range. Its central location in Colorado makes it the perfect place for business locations, outside the front range congestion, but close enough to be efficient with access north, south, east and west. Limon is located about an hour from Denver ( via Interstate 70) and Colorado Springs (via US Highway 24).
