This video features the drive between the town of Fairplay, Colorado and the city of Denver. We will be following US-285 on its journey out of the Rocky Mountains and into the Great Plains as it descends down into the Denver Metropolitan Area. We will pass over two mountain passes before following the North Fork of the South Platte River as we make our descent. We will also pass through the suburb of Lakewood as we approach the Denver city limits and end the video at the northern terminus of US-285 at I-25 just south of downtown Denver.

Love seeing the transition of US 285 from a rural 2 lane road going through the Rockies to a major roadway near it's terminus in Denver.

Beautiful road, I liked it.

@KCWanderlust Год назад

Memories abound! One of my weekly routes way back when I was haulin' for Brisk Transportation (to a few City Market stores). It was a blast, too! Almost like being on vacation that I got paid for!

@motorcitydriver5299 Год назад

Love taking 285 all the time. Great alternative to congested I-70!

@apo18llo Год назад

I love this drive. I have driven this route several times and it is beautiful.

@InterstateKyle Год назад

This was my first time and I really enjoyed it. Great scenery!

@tyleraricci Год назад

I drive this route twice a week. Great weather day for the video!

Love these Colorado drives but please keep the captions on the screen a bit longer. Otherwise I enjoyed the scenery of a section of 285 I've never driven.

@PaulIsAGamer Год назад

Love the ride through the mountains. Thanks for it, Kyle!

Thank you Paul!

Good video! A decent mix of some very beautiful country and then the Denver metro area.

@rally618 Год назад

Awesome Video 🙃🙂😍 Hard to believe I drove this last June. Never thought I would. Drove from Denver to Buena Vista. Park County is Beautiful. Thanks for the drive along. Great Job!

@InterstateKyle Год назад

Thank you very much!

I remember when US-285 was mostly two lanes, with the two main exceptions being at Conifer and Aspen Park. Thanks for the ride! Very enjoyable. If you turn left at Como, you can go over Boreas pass to Breckenridge (an old railroad grade of the Denver, South Park and Pacific RR, one of the water towers still stands on the west side last I went over it in '96). And you can still see it's roadbed along the road over Kenosha Pass in your video.

@DianesPaperArt Год назад

Thanks for this video. Will be visiting Denver. From Denver we plan to go to Black Canyon Of The Gunnison, South Rim. Will be towing a travel trailer and wondering if 285 is a good route or would Hwy 25 to Hwy 50 be a better route? Would lie to take the easier route even if longer. Thanks for any advice.

@robertelliott6570 Год назад

Beautiful Drive on US 285 through the Rockies. Have you ever driven up the Mount Evans Scenic Byway or the Pikes Peak Road.? Colorado has so many beautiful routes besides I-70, Another great video Kyle!

@InterstateKyle Год назад

Thanks Robert! I have been to Mount Evans, one of my bucket list items I crossed off from this road trip. Coming soon!

@joppaz1988 Год назад

Your videos made me fall in love with Colorado and I want to move their one day

@InterstateKyle Год назад

That’s so great to hear! I hope that goes well for you!

@jacobhamilton4888 Год назад

When was this filmed? I’ve never seen Denver look this green

@jonathanbaker4936 Год назад

Kenosha Pass, Colorado ..... I live in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. I wonder how the pass got to be named Kenosha.

@InterstateKyle Год назад

I'm not sure where the pass got its name from.

@kennethsimmons2003 Год назад

You beat me by a day! My US-285 video is going up tomorrow on Interstate KS!

@InterstateKyle Год назад

Looking forward to watching!

Thanks for the triggered memories! My wife and I were on the stretch between Jefferson (town) and Denver, back in the late 80s. Just north of Jefferson is Jefferson Lake, a very scenic drive up to the lake and the area was beautiful. I went fishing (caught some trout) and we ate a picnic dinner there. I recommend the area for camping, picnics, and fishing. The road has been improved since we were on it - more beautiful and in some areas, smoother. I do remember some of the scenes along the drive, and it was enjoyable to see them again. One thing I didn't notice was at the pass - when we were there, there was a rest area/welcome center like structure. We went there in the middle of summer, and the pass was still quite cold and windy. (Jefferson Lake was comfortable, but got cold once the sun started down.)

@RedHeart64 Год назад

I forgot to add - Jefferson is the little town you passed through right at 6 minutes in your video.

While still in Colorado in this series, this is still just east of the Continental Divide. I hope we'll see another video to cross the Divide next, but only time will tell.

@InterstateKyle Год назад

I’ll have one video crossing the divide twice in one video coming in a few videos.

@CrystalClearWith8BE Год назад

You do realize you already have videos of Denver filmed back in 2020. When you arrive in Denver in 2021, which routes did you take and how did you leave Denver at that time?
