Roads

My parents live Southeast of Denver; and if I'm ever late for a visit with them (or just don't want to deal with traffic) I pony up a few bucks and take the E-470 tollway to get to their house.  To me, it's well worth the cost of tolls not to sit in Denver traffic, at least every once in awhile (if it was part of my daily commute, I'm sure I'd feel differently).  So, hypothetically, would I use a tollway to get to my favorite vacation area of the mountains, and completely bypass stressful (and dangerous) mountain traffic?  Absolutely.

Back in February, I went to Grad Lake for my bachelor party. It was a long drive. Really long. The main reason for this was Trail Ridge Road was still closed for the Winter, so we had to take the long way around. Well, I want to go up to Grand Lake again; because the road is open now, and it won't take nearly as long to get there!
