Nothing ruins a Colorado weekend like getting stuck for hours on I-70 between Grand Junction and Denver. If you’re tired of crawling past Floyd Hill or waiting out endless ski traffic, here’s what actually works: skip Fridays after 2 PM and Sundays midday—those are the worst. Early weekday mornings or late evenings are your best bet. Want a backup plan? US-285 is a scenic, less stressful alternative, especially when I-70 is a parking lot. Real-time apps like COtrip and Waze are lifesavers for dodging sudden slowdowns. How do you outsmart I-70? Share your best tips and stories below! #Transportation #ColoradoTravel #I70
