Yes. I was born in Denver over 80 years ago. When I was growing up, there were no interstates through Colorado. Through Denver to the mountains we only had US-6 and US-40, which is Colfax Ave. Going south to the Springs, you’d take the Old Denver Highway, which was originally U.S. Route 87. That was replaced by I-25.
I have fond memories of riding these beautiful roads in the rumble seat of dad’s 1939 Ford Coupe, before they were paved over.
Amazing! What great memories. I’ve only been here for 23 years—still practically a greenhorn.
