I've heard that the the roads through there can be fine and then turn bad quick. Is that true or is it pretty much a for sure thing that it will be fine through Wednesday early afternoon?

You gonna try to make it to grand junction now?? Realistically does anyone know how far Grand Junction is from Denver?
About 4 and half hours. You summit at 10K feet right before you get to Copper Basin. Usually takes a plane to get that high. Normally it takes about 11 hours to get to Denver from IAC but you pick up an hour crossing timezones so it looks like 10 hours. It's 12 hours from Denver to Las Vegas, but again you cross timezones. About 4 hours from LV to So Cal.

we are leaving at 8am now, so getting to Denver would be around 7pm, still plenty of good driving time.
Very true. Just hoping the Iowa roads are in good shape by morning.
Might hit a little snow over the passes. Doesn't look like much though. Grand Junction is supposed to be dry all week.
Enjoy our town tomorrow night. Need any recommendations (restrauant special, hotels, etc) let me know.
Cool thanks.

i thought the rockies would be a little more rockier than this.. yeah man, that john denver is full of sh*t man!
Going thru the Rockies right now. It's not bad at all. Stopping in grand junction for the night.
From what I hear it's suppose to be clear most of the week. We just passed vail and everything looks good.
What's good restaurant and hotel recommendations??
Enjoy your night in our town (GJ). Have a great trip tomorrow. Go Hawks!
What kind of food do you want? We have most of the chains, but if you want something local, I,d recommend Pantuso's for Italian, W.W. Peppers for Southwest/Mexican, and for new age (I guess that's what you'd call it) Bin 707. Have all the chain hotels as well. If you want something quick and cheap, go with the chains.
We stayed at the Grand Vista last time through there. I was very happy, the price was affordable and the bed very comfortable. Just North of the interstate, easy to access.
I'm looking for beer, the basketball game and good food.
