This could be anywhere on I-95 stretching across Connecticut. Use it at your own peril.
I-70 is a great road to drive in the summer from Denver all the way to its end in or near eastern Nevada. It’s beautifully mountainous all the way and parallels the upper reaches of the Colorado River much of the way. The highest point is a little over 11,000 feet.
The trip on a two lane highway the rest of the way to Reno is also great. It’s mostly desolate semi-wilderness and crosses about six mountain ranges. I drove it about eight years ago and plan to do so again in the new Navigator I plan to pick up in about four weeks, which was paid for by the Trump market boom.
Looks good on the radar map. But that section of the highway can be a challenge during bad weather. It is at the bottom of a steep hill with a turn. A little ice and drivers can lose control of their cars.
Before the tunnel and I-70 were built, I went over Loveland and through Breckenridge and over Hoosier Pass in a ‘66 Vette that the brakes had failed on, used the hand brake and gears to get down, talk about fun. Once I got to lower altitude the brakes came back. Mechanic in LA said I had the wrong brake fluid.
