Car & Motorcycle
One of the great ways to experience Colorado is to drive its roads and byways. The road conditions are generally very
good and it's always rewarding when you point the car down an unknown backroad just to see where it goes. Good
maps and road atlases are sold everywhere.
The penchant Coloradans have for monster SUVs and mega motorhomes can be a little intimidating when you're put
putting up a steep mountain road in your clapped-out Korean rental car. But fellow drivers are courteous and generous
with their friendly conversation at roadside diners and gas stations. 'Where you headed?' is a common opener. Tuning
into local radio stations is part of the immersive cultural experience.
