DENVER (KDVR) – The majestic peaks of Colorado continue to pose challenges for out-of-state drivers who venture into the state’s high-altitude terrain. Recent incidents underscore the hazards that await those unfamiliar with these rugged roads.

Earlier this month, a South Carolina man found himself in a tricky situation when his Kia Telluride became stuck, resulting in the closure of Black Bear Pass for over a day until authorities could safely clear the vehicle.

Adding to this trend, a father and son from Florida found themselves stranded on Thursday night amid the towering Colorado mountains.
