Towing in Kittredge, CO is a short run down CO 74 from our Evergreen yard, and D&J Towing answers day and night, from slide-offs on the Bear Creek Road curves to cars that will not start at a canyon pullout.
Bear Creek Road through Kittredge is two lanes, squeezed in many spots between canyon rock and the creek. Where your car ends up decides what kind of help it needs. Tap the spot that matches.
This is the classic slide on a shaded curve. The car is usually upright, with one or two wheels off the pavement. Most of the time it comes out with a winch line from the road, not a full tow.
A stall, a flat, or a dead battery can leave you in the lane because the shoulder is too narrow to pull onto. Turn on your hazard lights. Only get out on the side away from traffic, and only if it is safe.
Corwina, O'Fallon and Pence parks all sit on CO 74 in Bear Creek Canyon. Dead batteries, flat tires and keys locked in the car are the usual calls from a trailhead lot. Many can be fixed on the spot.
A vehicle over the creek-side edge is a recovery job. The truck works from the road and brings it back up the slope before it can be towed anywhere.
Kittredge is small, but the road through it is not simple. CO 74 follows Bear Creek from Evergreen down to Morrison, and there is very little room to stop along the way. That changes what you should do while you wait and what dispatch will ask you.
Three county roads meet the highway near town. If you broke down near one, naming it helps dispatch place you when you can only describe what you see.
Canyon walls keep parts of the road in shade. Shaded curves freeze first and can stay slick after sunny stretches dry, a common setup for a winter slide-off.
The road winds with the creek on two lanes, with no safe place to pass. A stalled car on a blind curve is a hazard for everyone, which is why dispatch asks exactly where you stopped.
Riders use the canyon too. If you are stopped near the edge, check for bikes as well as cars before you open a door on the traffic side.
Evergreen and Morrison draw heavy weekend crowds from Denver, and CO 74 connects them. A breakdown on a Saturday afternoon backs up quickly, so tell dispatch if you are blocking traffic.
If your home sits on a steep drive off the canyon road, mud and ice can turn the trip out into a winch-out call. Tell dispatch whether a truck can turn around.
