Driving tips for Aspen
Colorado is known for its impressive landscape, and it's important to know what to expect when driving through the Rocky Mountains.
- Weather: As the Rocky Mountains have high elevation, weather patterns can shift quickly. Be alert for snow or rain in the winter and changing patterns throughout the year.
- Wildlife: Colorado roads pass through remote areas, which are home to wildlife. Be alert for deer, especially near lakes.
- Traffic: If you venture throughout the region to Denver or Boulder, be aware that these areas can have periods of congestion, especially at rush hour times.
- Cell phone service: Can be spotty or nonexistent in rural or mountainous areas. Plan and review your route in advance to avoid disruptions while traveling.
- SIXT App: Use the SIXT App to change or modify reservations, choose your vehicle before pick up, and more to maximize your car rental in Aspen.
