The Econazis that have Californicated Colorado make Front Range residents vehicles pass an emission test before plates can be renewed.
My son’s car needed a catalytic converter replaced. The Colorado compliant fix is over $1,800. His car now has a new, non Colorado compliant catalytic converter installed by a Wyoming muffler shop.
Cost? 1/3 and a vacation day.

About that water thing. I remember The Great Littleton Shingle Fire, in which a huge pile of discard cedar shingles somehow took fire and burned for days. The FD poured water on it for days. As a completely foreseeable result, the runoff from this ran off into the Platte River, upstream from the municipal water plant intake. For some time, the water had an unmistakable piney tang.

Safe travels, enjoy the trip, and (again!) kudos to the young lady you're going to see.

Wisdom.
Travel safe.
