I am from Colorado. All above info is cool Spent most of my life in Grand County. The best time to do trailridge road is first light to sunrise, the rest of the day is a freaking zoo! Summer sucks in the high country, most of us spent our free time away from the tourists! There are a myriad of drives from Denver that will not take you all day to do, pull out a map and have at it! My old home has turned into a liberal [bleep]!
