How are the driving conditions in Denver this week?

I am intending to travel to Denver tomorrow and is concerned about the road conditions as I have never driven in snow before. I will be staying at downtown denver and is intending to drive to the following places. 1. Royal Gorge 2. Winter Ski Resort 3. Rocky Mountains National Park. Any other way of getting around to those places if I don't drive?

Public Comments

1. The driving conditions can vary widely from Denver to the destinations you mention. Denver streets at this time are mostly dry but some residential streets are ice covered. Rocky Mountain National Park will likely be snow packed as the mountains have been getting snow on a regular basis. Same thing applies to Winter Park. You best bet would be to go to the CDOT website (Colorado Department of Transportation) and look at the road conditions. They also have web cams of many roads throughout the state. Just search for CDOT.
2. Well there are busses but they dont go through the National park in Estes Park, The roads are pretty well kept up most of the time but you will have some snow to drive through no matter what. No snow up here, I live in Loveland, which is close to Rocky mountain national park. So you will be okay here. But winter park, there is usually snow up there and not really sure about the Royal Gorge. Just take your time, as I'm sure somewhere through all of those you will have some winter driving conditions. Good luck and be careful.
3. The latest forecast is for snow. Tomorrow early afternoon into the evening. 3-6 inches, more in the mountains.
