What it covers
The eruv spans roughly an 11-mile area, which its committee says is hard to describe in words; its map page has a printable map and an interactive map broken into checking sections. It was built with the guidance of Rabbi Shimon Eider z"l, and the eruv chatzeros is kept at the Young Israel of Denver.

Good to know
- West Denver has a separate eruv. We could not verify its current source, so ShulMap publishes nothing about it — ask the West Denver shuls.
