As an automotive journalist, getting driving time in as many vehicles as possible is always a good thing. That’s why I’ve always enjoyed the Rocky Mountain Drive Experience, a yearly event put on by the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press association.

This year, the RMDE was held at the Stanley Hotel in scenic Estes Park, CO. It was a beautiful locale to get the opportunity to test more than two dozen new vehicles in a variety of road types and conditions. Many thanks to all of the automaker representatives who made the event possible, as well as hard-working event agencies like Automotive Media Solutions, Rocky Mountain Redline, and DriveShop.

I’ll be writing about my experiences at the event over the next week or two, so keep checking back here on Driveline Blog for updates.
