Interstate 70 in Colorado

If you have never taken the scenic route, then you need to take Interstate 70 through western Colorado. You get to see some of the most spectacular scenery that Mother Nature has to offer. Plus, you get through some of the best skiing around, including what is undoubtedly one of the best places to ski and that is Vail. Stretches of Interstate 70 runs you up to over 10,000 feet in elevation, and as you can see here, over 11,000 feet (3387m). I'm eastbound and ready to enter the Eisenhower Tunnel that takes one beneath the Continental Divide. I'm looking forward to being back this winter and bringing my large format camera with me.

 

I snapped this shot with my Canon A570 IS, and posted it more for fun than anything else.
