So, wanna head that way in the morning, but I've heard conflicting reports as to the legality of parking off I-70. Anyone here have a definitive answer for where/if I can park near the flow?

I've been wanting that for years! Good luck, I've heard nothing but bad expierences with the law...

Get in and get out quick if you go! I have never heard anyone say it was legal, but almost everytime I drive I70 on a weekend, there is someone parked below it. Right now, CDOT and CSP might be clamping down even more with all the road/rock work going on around that curve on I-70.

Not that I'm the most law abiding citizen, just keep in mind that we are all ambassadors of our sport. Our individual actions can impact the group as a whole.

Not that this would be the case here, but public perception can jeopardize access in other venues. When I see people climbing illegally I usually don't think very highly of them.

The first rule of the I-70 ice is that you don't talk about the I-70 ice lol.
