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.
We head out to Vail in the summer. I-70 West of Denver is very beautiful
