Climate

Always check the weather. It is in the Rocky Mountains which can obtain flucuating temperatures. So its always a good idea to see what the weather is predicted and what it actually is.

The colder weather months (November - Feb) often bring snow and ice to area roads. Visitors who park their cars should be prepared in case their vehicle is "snowed in" by snow removal trucks. Also, pay strict attention to parking rules and snow emergencies to avoid being towed away at the vehicle owner's expense. During the winter months, a snow brush, ice scraper, and plenty of windshield washer fluid is crucial, and many natives opt to carry a shovel, some sand, and a bag of ice melt/road salt in the trunk just in case.
