Road & Weather Conditions

There is a time honored saying about weather -‘If you don’t like it stick around for 10 minutes and it will change. That old saw probably originated in the alpine environment. Weather along the Front Range does vary and will change rapidly. Therefore the best source of real time weather information is often the camera system maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). In the middle of the page you will see the section ‘traffic cameras’. That will take you to a display of the camera locations, which will in turn offer you a real time look at conditions.
