AWESOME! I love that drive as you come into Denver. :) You really need a westbound one too... There are some fantastic views going westbound out of Denver. I can't wait to see the rest of the I-70 videos across Colorado! (I have been all across Colorado on I-70.)

@simplykristib: Thank you, very much! Yes, that is indeed a thrilling drive, down into the Denver metro area. I don't have any westbound videos thru the Rockies, but my I-70 west video thru Denver will end at the very base of the Rockies, so it should offer a preview of what to expect for westbound motorists.

Great video, I-70 in Colorado always astounds me. Last summer we drove from Denver to Vail for a day and I never took my eyes off of the window. Nothing quite like it in the US.

@FreewayTitan: I've come to appreciate I-70 much more in recent years. The first time I went on it, I think I was too young to really appreciate the sheer beauty of the Rockies. Perhaps that's because I grew up, being spoiled by the Sierra Nevada mountain range. But I-70 thru the western half of Colorado is probably the most remarkable freeway drive in this country.

The scenery is beautiful!!!

@LucidRealityChild: Totally. You might actually enjoy my next I-70 video even more than this one...

I found this incredible. I've heard of how pretty it was west of Denver on I-70 but have never seen it...until now. Please post more as you can, I loved this video!

Nice video. So much more interesting than the drive on I-76 between Denver and Nebraska, which I've been on a few times.

The States in Western USA are a lot bigger than those in eastern USA.

Most beautiful interstate I've been on was I-75 through KY (Rockcastle County in particular) and that doesn't hold a candle to the many splendors of I-70

cool. Video is even better once downloaded at 720P, loaded into a network drive and viewed on the big flat screen TV.

@GAdawgsfan93 I drive from Florida to Nashville every summer to visit my mom, siblings and quite a few of my relatives that live there. And my favorite part to drive through is from Chattanooga to Nashville,TN on I-24.

[GAdawgsfan93]

I would love 2 visit CO and take this drive. I live in GA, so beautiful mountain drives are mostly on backroads, not interstates. There are a few drives in the Appalachians that could compare 2 this. There's a new stretch of I-26 that goes from Asheville,NC to TN by crossing the Smokies. The drive from Chattanooga to Nashville,TN on I-24 is also very scenic.

As beautiful as the Rockies are, I think there's something just as magical about the Great Plains. I grew up on the plains and I just love things there. Thanks for this video - it was so well done!
