For a smooth journey, fly from Denver International Airport (DEN) to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), then take a regional flight to Huntsville International Airport (HSV), followed by a short drive to Athens, AL. This is the most efficient option considering available direct flights and connections.

Recommendation
For convenience and speed, I recommend flying as the primary mode of travel from Denver to Athens. While a road trip can be an adventurous option, the efficiency of air travel, especially considering the long distance, makes it the better choice for most travelers. Make sure to account for parking and transportation costs once you arrive in Athens.
