Interstate 70 Colorado Scenery - Photos Of Mountains From The Highway
July 30, 2005

After visiting the Colorado Railroad Museum, my parents and I drove west to the historic mining towns of Blackhawk and Central City. I took this shot driving west on Highway 58 towards Golden. |
|
Going westbound on Interstate 70 in Georgetown. |
|
We decided to drive up to the
Eisenhower Tunnel.
I raised the sun roof and took this photo will driving! :) |
|
We arrived at the westbound entrance of the Eisenhower Tunnel,
which goes under a mountain range that comprises of the Continetal Divide.
Tunnels rock the house!
Some of my Continental Divide pictures: Cottonwood Pass

On the west side of the divide, looking southwest
towards the Ten Mile range near Breckenridge. |

A couple of 12,000 foot peaks west of Silverthorne. |

Somewhere heading back east towards the Eisenhower Tunnel. |

Somewhere down I-70 is the
"Chief Hosa" exit near Evergreen. Can someone please tell me who the heck Chief Hosa is? :p) |
