I are looking to drive from Colorado Springs, CO to Taos, NM and back in early January 2017. The two routes we looked at were going through La Veta pass (through Grand Junction) or Raton pass (through Angel Fire).
For those that regularly drive this during the winter:
Aside from storms, snow chains and emergency gear, are there any specific areas to be concerned about on either of those drives, or things to be especially aware of?
