Recommendation
Considering the vast distance and travel duration, I highly recommend flying from Montebello to Denver. It is the most efficient and time-sensitive option, allowing you to arrive fresh and ready to explore Denver. Depending on your schedule flexibility, in-flight amenities from Southwest Airlines or United Airlines could make your journey comfortable and convenient. For the road trip enthusiasts, the drive offers scenic views across states but requires considerable time and planning for breaks.
