I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins closes more than most people outside Wyoming would believe. Here’s what we check before we drive anywhere between the Front Range and the Snowy Range.
- Wyoming roads: WYDOT road conditions, including the Elk Mountain and Arlington cameras.
- Colorado roads: COtrip for I-25, US 287 and Cameron Pass.
- Forecasts: NWS Cheyenne for southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle, NWS Boulder for Fort Collins, Greeley and the northern Front Range.
High-wind warnings for light trailers are posted on WYDOT long before the road actually closes. If you’re hauling hay or a camper, that’s the number to watch.
