Second this. It's often overlooked. Driving the main loop is probably only a 2 hour endeavor, but allowing a full day to do some of the (relativley) short hikes in the park is well worth it. The Devil's Kitchen trail in particular is super cool, about 1.5 miles round trip with a few spots with...
Just one quick comment on the Colorado part of the trip. It's been a very low snow year, but I still would not expect to be able to do much in the way of trails at elevation without snow concerns this early in the year. In a typical season you need to be concerned with cover till at least late...
Exactly; Cornell closed down on February 14, 2007 when I was up there for the Valentine's Day storm (forecast was for up to 30 inches; I think we got about 22 if my memory is right). Was one of the first full closures of the university in its history since 1865 (seems like they have gotten...

Yes, but a huge amount of wet road accidents are probably caused by not allowing for proper stopping distance or hydroplaning (often due to worn tires), both of which are not solved by an AWD vehicle. AWD really only helps you with putting power down, the exact same reason you see SUVs flipped...
Just one more reason I am a dog person. And no fu-fu that can sit in your front seat and turn on your trail turn assist while driving, 155 pound Newfoundland thank you.
