Heads Up
- 1. High altitude warning: Drink plenty of water when ascending the Rockies to prevent altitude sickness.
- 2. Check weather conditions for Loveland Pass (US-6), as it can close during sudden snowstorms even in shoulder seasons.
- 3. National Park passes are required for Great Sand Dunes; consider an 'America the Beautiful' pass for this multi-state trip.
- 4. Long stretches of the Great Plains have limited services; keep your fuel tank above a quarter full.
