Jump Start tips for Golden roads

Cars parked at Lookout Mountain or canyon trailheads in cold weather often fail to start; altitude and cold make weak batteries die faster.

Main routes we cover in Golden: US-6 through Clear Creek Canyon, SH-93, I-70 and the north end of C-470, plus spots like Colorado School of Mines, downtown Washington Avenue and Lookout Mountain.

What to do right now

  1. Turn off lights, heater and radio.
  2. Pop the hood release if you can, and know where your battery is.
  3. Request a jump in ShoulderCrew and share your exact spot.
  4. After the jump, drive for at least 20 minutes so the battery can recharge.
