After flying into Denver, I headed west on I-70 and then took a side trip on Highway 6. It was a fun drive on a twisty two-lane road over the mountains and through central Colorado on the way to Silverthorne. I even saw a tiny bit of snow on a few of the peaks (third image) – even in August.

I crossed the continental divide part way through my side trip along Colorado Highway 6.

Farther west along Colorado Highway 6 on the way to Silverthorne. I believe the waterway is part of the Snake River system.

Vail Village is one of the most popular spots along the interstate when you travel west from Denver. Although best known as a ski area, it’s a nice place to stop any time of year. The village is very walkable and has lots of whimsical public art.
