In this 5part series of videos, what I might normally call an 'odyssey', I present scenery from my 2day drive on highways in the northColorado section of the Rocky Mountains on September 23 & 24, 2023.

First, I drove westbound on interstate highway 70 (I70) from Denver to view some of the Grand Mesa area near the town of Palisade (just east of Grand Junction), passing through the spectacular Glenwood Canyon en route. Then I drove back eastbound on I70, once again passing through Glenwood Canyon, as far as Silverthorne, then north on Colorado state highway 9 to Kremmling. From there, I drive eastbound on US highway 40, passing through scenic Byers Canyon, and on through Rocky Mountain National Park on US highway 34. I stayed overnight at Estes Park, then continued the second day on highway 34 through Bog Thompson Canyon, ending in the city of Loveland.

Part 1 is westbound on I70 from Colorado highway 470 to the est end of Glenwood Canyon.
Part 2 is westbound on I70 through Glenwood Canyon, continuing west to the Grand Mesa area near Palisade.
Part 3 is back eastbound on I70 (through Glenwood Canyon again) to Silverthorne, north on state highway 9 to Kremmling, then east on US 40 to the southwest entrance of the national park near Granby.
Part 4 is US 34 through Rocky Mountain National Park to my hotel in the town of Estes Park.
Part 5 is eastbound on US 34 from Estes Park to the conclusion of the drive in Loveland.
