The natural process of erosion never
stops. A long wet winter in Colorado makes CDOT work a lot of overtime.
Keeping you head in the moment while
driving Colorado roads is a good habit. Over the years I’ve dodged more than
one falling rock. When you see one of these signs, please pay attention.
From Google (and probable copyright

Avalanches in the winter. Rockfalls year
around. Don’t move here from California – try Montana instead!
One final note. I’ve driven on every one
of the roads in these pictures at one time or another.

YOW!
Haven't had to dodge any rocks yet, just geese and deer!
Be alert going West on 14 up the Poudre.
Oh, yeah....We've seen what looked like fresh rock falls alongside 14 coming back from The Mish.
Geez...I'm even using local nicknames for stuff now. I must be getting 'acclimatized' or something!

Careful, or when someone asks you how you are, you will reply, "Breathing air and taking nourishment".
Yep, rocks WILL ruin your whole day! I-77 was closed for almost a year in Virginia after half the hill fell on the road a couple of years ago!
I remember Johnny Carson talking about the "Malibu 500" every Spring when people would go watch the "Rock and house races" down the hillsides.

I-70 through Glenwood Canyon is a chronic problem.
