Buckle Up, Buttercup: Hitting the Road
The classic, the reliable, the bring-your-own-aux-cord method. You've got options, friend:
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
- Interstate 25: The Speedy Gonzales - This bad boy will get you there in about 1.5 hours, assuming you don't get stuck behind a rogue herd of tourist cattle (it happens). Pro tip: Download some killer tunes, because the radio out here can be a gamble.
- CO-67: The Scenic Route - Feeling fancy? Take the mountain route! More twists and turns than a politician's promise, but the views are unbeatable. Just be prepared for a slightly longer trip (think 2.5 hours) and pack some dramamine for any co-pilots who might get woozy.
Remember: Don't be a road rage roaster! Colorado drivers are a chill bunch, for the most part. Just cruise, enjoy the scenery (or argue over what song to play next), and arrive safely.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
