Colorado Driving & Highway Guide
Driving in Colorado is not like driving in any other state. There are beautiful scenic highways through the high mountains, routes that close for the winter season, and regular snowy conditions that drivers need to be prepared for. Use the resources here to explore, learn, prepare, and make your journey safer.
All truckers should be prepared for traveling over mountain passes with steep descents. You will need to descend slowly in low gear to keep your brakes from overheating.
