Car & Motorcycle
While drivers in this region tend to be lead-footed on the interstate, traffic in the park is
exasperatingly slow, typified by lumbering RVs wheezing over the Continental Divide. At
the slightest whiff of a bison or moose, traffic slams to a halt. For this reason, it pays be
extra-attentive when driving.
