Know Your Terrain

Understanding the different types of roads and terrain will help you prepare for any situation. For example, steep mountain passes can be particularly hazardous, while icy or snowy roads may require extra caution.

Slow Down and Use Low Gear

Slowing down and using low gear when driving on steep or winding roads can help you maintain control and prevent wheelspin. This is especially important on mountain passes where the road may drop suddenly.

Keep an Eye Out for Wildlife

Colorado's Rocky Mountains are home to a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, elk, and mountain lions. Keeping an eye out for these animals can help you avoid accidents.
