video provides footage of I-70 through glenwood canyon . beginning construction in 1980, this is without a doubt a 20th century engineering marvel due to the elements and surprises CDOT overtook in 12 years, designing and making the final link of interstate 70.

This video inspired me to do this drive in 2013, hope to make the 2000 mile drive again in a few months just to enjoy the scenery and the hiking. :) One of the best experiences I've ever had just driving, the engineering and the natural beauty is just breathtaking.

I've been through Glenwood Canyon many times going coast to coast over the years. The first times were in the early '80s when 70 was being constructed and didn't yet exist for long stretches of two lane, and in retrospect I'm glad I got to see what it was like before 70 was built. More recently I've been through there a few times by motorcycle, and the spectacular scenery made it challenging to keep my eyes on the very curvy interstate and on the watch for wildlife. I once had a deer come out of the brush in one of the sharp, low speed curves and run alongside my motorcycle for several seconds before darting back over the rail and down the bank. The canyon looks very different depending on your direction of travel and the angle of the sun. One of my favorite times passing through GC was just after sunrise when the shadows were long and there were almost no other vehicles on the road.

Nolo C hi it’s been five years since you wrote this on this video. It’s now February 2020. I lived in Colorado for 10 years. Hard to believe that this stretch of interstate is relatively new. I wonder, which way or road(s) people would drive to get to Saint George, Utah. PS. Hope you’re still around to answer this. Thank you in advance if you do.

Thank you for this wonderful post. It inspired my wife and me to visit this part of Colorado. I drove this once before, eastbound, in 1984, before this was completed. It was great to come back and see it in its true glory. This is a very special segment of the Interstate System, we are glad we had two weeks to explore it and its environs, we stayed in Eagle, CO, right off I-70. Great music, too! I am a sucker for anything having to do with the open road. Keep up the good work! :)

In 1993, after leaving California, I had the pleasure to ride Clenwood Canyon on my motorcycle as I was heading back to Ohio. I thought it was awesome... almost otherworldly! There was some disappointment once I got past that part of I 70. I hope to ride it again someday.

Who's hiked to Hanging Lake? It's a mile hike up one of the side canyons halfway through Glenwood Canyon. One of the most beautiful things on Earth. OK, who's been in Fulford Cave? South of Eagle, east of the Canyon. Makes for a great camping trip! Ain't Colorado one of the coolest States? Steamboat. Manitou Springs. Red Rocks. Loved it there '77-'90.

l like that part of I - 70. Nice scenery. It is not a regular highway. I like how they have one side of the interstate above another like you are on a bridge. I -70 connects I -15 in Cove Fort, Utah and I - 695 in western Baltimore, Maryland.

I have never been enamored with the idea of owning a vehicle provided I get reasonable alternatives. Living in a big city on the Pacific allows me to be car free. It is places like Glenwood Canyon that move me to own a vehicle. I have driven between Grand Junction on the Western Slopes and Denver in the Front Range a number of times, and believe me, it is as spectacular as it comes, even in a state that has a surfeit of amazing places. Expanding I-70 in the canyon cost a lot of money. Care was taken not to blast and disturb the natural formation. The best use of tax payor money I say! The American west is absolutely endowed. Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington (state), Wyoming, Montana... what a blessing. And glad to have seen 80% of them.
