You have good advice and encouragement. I can't add much to that but I do have a story that relates.
Once, returning from Estes Park to Buena Vista, we missed our turn near Copper Mountain to Hwy 91--still can't understand why. But we took the next exit -- You know I am kidding.

So you have good advice, just don't miss the turn onto US 24 or you may have to enjoy that mistake as we did ours.
