Denver to Glenwood Springs, on I80/76 over the Mountains with our TV ? Weather conditions a problem ?
We can get some decent snows in November. But the interstate is a major thoroughfare and needs to be maintained. CDOT does a good job of keeping snows in check. There can be the dump that surprises travelers and are times it does shut down the highway.
Problems can occur at the Eisenhower Tunnel if hazmat truck need to be metered through it if Loveland Pass is closed. Usually it closed for avalanche control, but November is generally way too early for that concern... but it is on chance sometimes closed due to an accident and truck could then still be metered.
At the time of year you should generally be OK on this stretch, just be aware that you could hit some significant snows. Keep an eye on COTRIP.org for latest conditions.
Denver under normal conditions should take around 3 hours.
