The Importance of Checking Your Vehicle Before Heading Out

Cooking with an empty gas tank can cause your car to run out of fuel, leading to costly repairs. Always check your vehicle's fuel level and top off as needed.

Be Aware of Wildlife on the Road

Colorado's Rocky Mountains are home to many wildlife species, including elk, deer, and bighorn sheep. Slow down and be prepared for unexpected movements or road closures.

Use High-Altitude Road Signs Wisely

High-altitude roads can be slippery and visibility may be limited. Use high-altitude road signs, such as those for "highway to altitude," to help you navigate safely.
