The Era of the Road Trip is Back.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, The CDC has recommended most people avoid flying, especially the elderly who are more susceptible to the ill effects of COVID-19.
But for those who can’t quell their wanderlust, jumping in a car for a stellar road trip is the next best option.
Fortunately, Colorado is arguably one of the nation’s best states for road tripping. Filled with scenic byways and backroads, it’s easy to get lost in its wonder.
