so we got the bikes loaded we've got the cooler we're all ready for a road trip
down i-70 in Colorado one of the prettiest drives there is to Colorado so
if you really want to see Colorado take i-70 through Denver all the way over to
Utah today on Colorado martini living so we're on our way on a road trip did you
pack the vodka it's in the well does that make it well drinks so all the
states in the United States Colorado is one of the prettiest States there is and
as you can see the Rocky Mountains is one of the things that makes Colorado so
beautiful
so as you leave Denver you'll pass the golden exit 265 exit and oten is where
worse home bases it's a wonderful old western town and it's a great place to
have lunch on the Main Street so if you're looking for a place to stop
definitely get off at golden and it's on the north side of the freeway if you're
coming west now coming up on our left is a place where you can see dinosaur
fossils I it's called dinosaur ridge and it is one
of the best specimens of dinosaur footprints I've had the pleasure of
seeing so it's definitely worth a stop they do have tour buses that you can
take or you can hike through and see the dinosaur tracks and bones
this is just outside of Morrison Colorado and Golden Colorado some
Morrison we're traveling last horse and is on to
our south and golden is to our north we got a dinosaur bridge you want to get
off on exit 259 to Morrison and if you're traveling west you want to go
south on that road this bat road will also take you to we'll take you to Red
Rocks so Red Rocks Amphitheatre it was voted one of the best music venues in
the nation the nation make sure that when you go that should be aware about
where you park if you have problems climbing stairs definitely park at the
top parking lots otherwise park at the base it's definitely a look-see to see
this amphitheater it's just absolutely amazing they have a wonderful museum at
the top of the amphitheater there's definitely worth seeing so we're coming
up to exit 256 which is Buffalo Bills grave and Museum on Lucan Lookout
Mountain that is a great absolutely beautiful
view of golden and the area and is worth stopping to see Buffalo Bill Cody's um
grave and the museum is a wonderful western museum so definitely
take a look at that so you also want to stop at the buffalo herd lookout which
is just past the look-out mountain turnoff it's at the genesee park turn
off which is exit 554 so when you get off the freeway you want to turn left
you can actually see these buffalo on either side of the freeway but usually
the best viewing is on the south side and there is an absolutely beautiful
view as you get off the freeway and this is where the vistas are just absolutely
beautiful so when you get off the freeway you turn to the left and then
you go to the right you should be up on the right there's a lookout just up this
road so we just left the buffalo herd that's owned by the city of Denver and
now we're getting back on at the i-70 and we're traveling a West the next
thing up is evergreen evergreen is this absolutely beautiful town you pretty
much have to go off the freeway to see the town itself but if you're looking
for a place to eat evergreen is really pretty
there is also white of which are very sacred to the Native
Americans in ever dead I'll put a link down below on how to find us so we're at
exit 253 and we're getting it near to Evergreen which is exit 252 and I would
be the exit that you get off of to see the white buffalo at the Memorial Park
again I will put a link down below in the description on where that white
buffalo is located and be on the lookout for a video that we'll be putting out
about the Buffalo and especially the white buffalo and there's going to be a
little surprise in that because we're actually meeting up with some other
youtubers a lot of people don't know is that there is an area in Colorado that
has legalized gambling and that's Black Hawk and Central City and so you are
traveling along the turnoff to those two towns mr. martini and I usually go to
Black Hawk it's really beautiful up there it's an old mining town the road
to it is right there and it has a very distinctive turnoff
just around the corner here so now you're starting to see water on your
south side of the freeway which is Clear Creek it's wonderful for wrapping and we
airy start entering the tunnel area so this is the first tunnel that you go
through be warned that there's usually a lot of traffic in this area as you're
coming into Idaho Springs but if you have time definitely stop in the town of
Idaho Springs there's wonderful restaurants to eat at and the Main
Street is a lot of fun just to kind of go in and out of the stores so it's
definitely worth a stop so if you want to go to Idaho Springs you're going to
get off at exit 241 there's also some great old mines that you can tour in
Idaho Springs which is you know there are a lot of fun
so here's the Argo mind you can actually take tours so this used to be a gold
mine and I've actually haven't taken it and I hear it's really really cool so we
always like to stop here and have lunch we haven't had a bad meal in this town I
recommend Tommyknockers the Tommyknockers is really good there's
buffaloes it's very good westbound down it's actually a brewery
and really good one of the more popular places with families is bo Jo's it's
with these photos it's what they call Colorado style pizza
so here's Bo Jo's and it's kind of neat place to take your kids yeah
it's theirs it's very entertaining inside but definitely stop it Idaho
Springs and walk through the town there's a lot of great stores and I've
just always enjoyed stopping here as you can see it's a pretty popular place to
stop Tommyknockers is down here it's also a brewery and they have excellent
food I just I haven't had a bad meal in this town we have this fight every time
about what it's called you also want to check out Mount Evans if you have time
it is a big climb to the top of Mount Evans but you will see mountain goats at
the top of Mount Evans go along the i-70 you'll see a lot of evidence of mining
if you look up in the hills you'll see a lot of these tailings that come off the
side of the mountains and that was mining back in the day gold and silver
mining there still are some people that mind these areas but you'll see older
structures on the side of the hills as you're traveling through
coming into Georgetown which is a wonderful historic town but one of the
things that you can see in Georgetown is bighorn sheep they have a wonderful
viewing area to see the Sheep but if you look up in the hills around this area
you're supposed to be able to see them you can definitely see traces of them
their paths but mr. martini and I have had most luck finding the bighorn sheep
by just getting off the freeway at Georgetown and they're like right there
at the exit so let's see if maybe we can see them
one right up the freeway he's right there
and as we approach Eisenhower Tunnel we come across our first ski resort that's
right on i-70 and that is the Loveland ski resort it literally sits on top of
the tunnel it's an area ski resort where a lot of local ski because it's a hop
skip and a jump from the Denver area so it's very easy to get to you can see the
runs right there so a lot of people come up here in the
wintertime
so we're coming up to the Eisenhower Tunnel we are at 10,000 926 feet
the Eisenhower Tunnel was white an engineering to meet and when we hit
Eisenhower and other is the Johnson tunnel so going west is Eisenhower and
here we go so we are going through the mountain right now and it's a pretty
lengthy tunnel so we've just gone through the tunnel and you come upon a
pretty steep grade we're at eleven thousand two hundred and forty feet now
the one thing about the tunnel is it's the Continental Divide and what the
Continental Divide is is it basically marks
where rivers start flowing different directions so in other words on the east
side of the Eisenhower Tunnel rivers flow to the Atlantic so they
eventually somehow make it to the Atlantic Ocean all the rivers on the
west side of the tunnel flow to the Pacific Ocean so one way or another they
make it to the Pacific Ocean and basically that's what the Continental
Divide is is that it is marking the place where the rivers run a different
direction to a different ocean
so we're coming into a valley area where the town of Frisco is first goes a nice
little town as a great place to stop for lunch
there's also a huge reservoir called Dylan Lake and there's also a
Silverthorne where you can stop it outlet stores or
you know pick up a bite to eat there's a wonderful coffee house on the
right on the north side of the freeway that sits right on the creek and it's a
nice place to have a cup of coffee so absolutely beautiful in this valley
and it's also the turnoff to Breckenridge
yes I love Breckenridge it's one of my favorite towns and it's Breckenridge's
didn't catch our dog sledding video it's where we go dog sledding
and Frisco sits right on Lake Dylan which is a really nice area and then off
to the South here is Breckenridge about oh it takes you about 10-15 minutes from
so just past Frisco you're gonna start coming up to Copper Mountain Scooby
swords and Bale now the one thing about this area is where you start seeing all
the aspen trees that's what all this is right here they haven't gotten their
leaves yet but if you are here in the fall so September in October it's
absolutely beautiful up here because of the aspen trees
so right here is Copper Mountain Karp through mountains claim to fame is this
is where the US Olympic ski team trains and the prettiest rest stop around on
the fail summit looking back at Copper Mountain oh just on the south side here
is the main failed village you definitely have to get off the freeway
and park to go into the village to see it it's definitely worth seeing it's not
a village think you can really drive through
and park in the parking structure
so we're on our way east towards Glenwood Springs in this area is not as
pretty as the mountain area but just wait for it wait for it wait for it so
we're entering Glenwood Canyon this candy is absolutely beautiful
that is the Colorado River next to our left River cut the canyon so the
Colorado River didn't just cut the Grand Canyon it did the Glenwood Canyon also
that sneaky river bed and cuddle on again
one of the amazing things about this Canyon is
believe it or not is the straight way that runs through it it basically hangs
on the edge of the canyon was a lot of controversy about building mess they
want to cut the walls of the canyon road to sedessa muster compromise
keep the canyon narrowed
arriving and our destination for the night
Glenwood Canyon resorts where the Huskies go don't you eat that yellow
snow okay so how's our gas mileage going down this gray I haven't touched a gas
