I love the view of the front range as you're approaching Golden on I-70. The drive up to the Divide is very pretty as long as there is no heavy traffic. That can make for a miserable few hours. :covri:
I do my best to avoid I-70 when there is any sign of snow in the forecast. There are too many folks from out of state that don’t know how to drive in snow and have basic all season tires with no chains. I have winter tires for both of my vehicles.
If I really want to go to Breckenridge, I’ll take hwy 285. There is traffic there as well but a lot fewer people, from out of the state, drive there.
