Driving tips for Aspen

- 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.
