Mountain roads in Colorado are beautiful, but they demand extra caution. As more people head into the high country, drivers need to be prepared for narrow lanes, steep grades, and unpredictable conditions. According to a recent article from Out There Colorado, staying in the right lane, using pullouts when traffic stacks up behind you, and avoiding tailgating are just a few essential rules that can prevent accidents and frustration.
Drivers should also watch for cyclists, wildlife, and changing weather. In colder months, traction laws may require snow tires or chains, especially on I‑70. While it may be tempting to stop for a scenic photo, never do so in the middle of the road. Only use designated pull-offs. Mountain driving isn’t just about getting there; it’s about doing so safely and respectfully.
