If you\u2019re flying into Denver, you might need to rent a car for your road trip. If so, make sure to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyscanner.com\/car-rental-from\/den\/car-rental-from-denver-international-airport.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">compare rental prices<\/a>\u00a0and options in advance. It\u2019s important that the vehicle you choose can handle the terrain you\u2019ll be passing through, including potentially big changes in terrain and temperature. You\u2019ll also need a model that can handle everything you plan to pack, and that will fit you and everyone in your group comfortably.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.lwn2aur5fyaq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clothing_for_changing_weather\"\/><strong>Clothing for changing weather<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Colorado weather changes quickly, especially as you move across different elevations. So, pack layers that you can add or remove easily as you shift from cool mountain altitudes to burning desert heat.\u00a0Essential clothing\u00a0includes a light jacket, a warm fleece, and a simple rain shell, but you should also include comfortable clothes for walking, roadside stops, and short hikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to explore high up in the mountains, add a hat and gloves, and keep them with you on your mountain hikes. Even if it feels warm when you set out, temperatures can drop very quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" data-attachment-id=\"35358\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,853\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;outsidesuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 12 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1613493190&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9OutsideSuburbia All Rights Reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8.jpg\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8.jpg&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8.jpg\" alt=\"cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-35358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cropped-texas_to_colorado_outsidesuburbia-8-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comfortable shoes will help you to comfortably explore scenic overlooks and short trails, and a few extra socks and breathable shirts will help to keep you comfortable during long drives.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.qaupr6som6u\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_and_water_supplies\"\/><strong>Food and water supplies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Food and water are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/travel-tips\/top-6-travel-essentials-that-you-need-when-traveling-this-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">basic travel essentials<\/a>. Take a cooler on your road trip, and fill it with a\u00a0steady supply of snacks like fruit, nuts, sandwiches, or simple baked items. Bring enough water for everyone in your group \u2013 in fact, pack more water than you think you need in case of temperature extremes and unexpectedly strenuous days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remember, many of the Colorado roads run through isolated areas, so you can\u2019t always rely on finding places to restock easily. So, if you plan longer drives, pack extra food and drink. On that note, consider a spare can of gas as well for long stretches between gas stops.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.jjmzfrtgtl\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Navigation_tools\"\/><strong>Navigation tools<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Cell service can drop without warning in the mountains, so you can\u2019t rely on apps or Google Maps for navigation.

A good first aid kit should include bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any personal medications you need. Add antihistamines if you\u2019re prone to pollen or dust allergies (these can also help with insect bites in the short term).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also pack sunscreen, because Colorado sun can burn fair skin even in the winter. Similarly, sunglasses help protect your eyes during long drives and high-altitude visits. Insect repellent is a good idea for lake areas and wild trails. Finally, add a flashlight and extra batteries to your safety kit for early morning or evening activities. These simple items help you stay safe and prepared.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.70tjqlg8l97d\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Car_comfort_and_emergency_items\"\/><strong>Car comfort and emergency items<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Long drives are a lot easier if you pay attention to your personal comfort when packing.

Many drivers keep an emergency roadside kit with reflective markers and a multi-tool in the trunk. Don\u2019t forget windshield washer fluid if you\u2019re heading into the wilds \u2013 rough mountain roads can kick up dust or mud. If you drive at night, bring a headlamp or a small lantern. These will all help you to handle minor issues quickly.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.k99xromn71b\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outdoor_gear_for_scenic_stops\"\/><strong>Outdoor gear for scenic stops<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Colorado is packed full of opportunities for short hikes, wildlife viewing, and photo stops. So, bring a small backpack containing binoculars for wildlife spotting, and a camera for capturing scenic views.

Bring lip balm, skin lotion, and plenty of water because the dry air can damage your skin and dehydrate you fast. Pack a warm layer, even if it\u2019s summer and you don\u2019t think you need it, because mountain temperatures drop quickly. Snacks are great for fending off fatigue, and strong, comfortable shoes with plenty of ankle support will help you to walk safely on uneven terrain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.65y1fe2ot6vx\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cleaning_and_personal_care_items\"\/><strong>Cleaning and personal care items<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Pack hand wipes, tissues, and hand sanitizer for quick cleanups on the roads.
