We left our hotel in Moab at around 11am Sunday morning. We took I-70 East to Denver, Colorado. The entire stretch to Denver was really impressive especially the Glenwood canyon area and the Eisenhower Tunnel area. The Eisenhower tower has a maximum elevation of 11,158 feet and length of 1.7 miles. It is the longest mountain tunnel and highest point along the Interstate Highway System. 11, 158 feet is the highest elevation Ajo & I have been at so far.
It was drizzly all day and we encountered some moderate showers by Veil pass and Eisenhower tunnel area. We had quite a bit of traffic driving into Denver after the Eisenhower tunnel. It took about 2 hours to get to our hotel room. We ate at a Popeyes Chicken for dinner.
Highlights of Day 5
- Scenic Interstate Drive through Colorado
