Houston to Denver Road Trip - First time in CO without snow (1 Viewer)

[bloc]

Simply looking at the data, Houston has more crime than Denver. There are a confluence of factors that have made Denver and most major cities more dangerous in the last couple of years, especially the last year. The same advice applies in any major urban area - don't leave valuables in sight when you leave your car, stay aware of your surroundings late at night, etc. etc. Denver is an incredible place for myriad reasons, but every single large US city has at least one sketchy area. You highlighted a stretch of Colfax above which has always been one of the most "interesting" areas in the whole state, so it is inaccurate to think a small area in the heart of the city is representative of an entire metro area of 3+ million people. I will say drivers have become unbelievably aggressive and reckless however especially on I-25 and I-225, so I would say that is your biggest risk factor. They actually target people with RTTs I hear...

"target" people with RTTs? for what?

"target" people with RTTs? for what?

This is exactly what I was wondering.

To be honest, it seems like many people everywhere are very impatient when driving.

Also please bring a portable toilet, or wag bags or something, there are far too many people these days and its gross if everyone just s***s everywhere.

we pack out 99% (except the boy's freedom pees). Check out this setup, better than any public restroom:
