Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel -Interstate 70 - Colorado Rocky Mountains

[@avlisk]

11:20, driving through there a couple of years ago, a lady was in the middle of the freeway, waving us down to stop. Turned out a family of elk? moose? was crossing the highway right in front of us. A fantastic drive made even more wonderful. (And no animals were harmed in the process, either.) Thank you, lady in the middle of the freeway.

In 1978, my brother and I were driving to Denver from Aspen. Weather was fine entering the tunnel. Came out to a foot of snow on the ground and blizzard conditions. Had a 64 Dodge pickup that I left in what I thought was the median. We hitched back to Denver, then went looking for my truck the next day. Quite the adventure.

[@milehighkit4725]

I'm back-and-forth between Junction and Denver every month :-) love the drive till I get back to Denver.

[@larryolesen1723]

Hi Russ, This is absolutely gorgeous, never knew why my Mom ended loved going to Colorado now I know why. Just Spectacular Wow!!

National treasure for all, not just Americans.

[@stampdealer]

This is probably my single favorite stretch of interstate highway in the country, with Frisco, CO being my favorite small town along the way.

[@Agapedj]

Interstate 70 for me, is one of the most beautiful American roads, mainly in Utah and Colorado, passing through rock walls, mountains and following the Colorado River, passing through tunnels and viaducts and after Denver, everything practically flat and straight . It is to be appreciated, beautiful road engineering work. The i90, i80, i40 and i10 also have their particularities that are jaw-dropping. Hello from Brazil, thanks.

[@TheDionysius57]

Went through Sturgis post motorcycle rally....also went through Black Hills area ....wonderful. Keep these wonderful videos coming...thanks Russ!

[@GSU_Panther_Nation]

The views from the approach to either side of the Eisenhover Tunnel is so majestic

[@rdebbiejoy5246]

You are the BEST RV channel! You give us beautiful scenery and drone shots! You don’t give us face time with talk, talk, talk or whine or complain or show us your Mickey Mouse collection! 😂. You rule! Thanks so much for an excellent KZbin channel!!😃👍❤️👋👍👍👍👋👋❤️👋👋

[@BillSchlichting]

Thanks for the memories. I drove that road in 1998. I departed the highway to keep heading east on I-76. That day I drove from Rifle to Grand Island.

[@KimPipOrgan]

So nice to be a passenger finally on I70. Ive driven it so many times and really not seen the scenery as a tourist. Thanks. Also the 25 upto WY is a city drive now, no longer rural. Summer tour 202 to remember!

[@jesscarey7666]

Great job Russ! That section of I-70 is on the bucket list for sure 👍

[@kmmk7101]

Colorado marvelous state Great roads and tunnels Thanks Russ.

[@papagen00]

I drove from Lookout Mountain to Central City and saw the same tunnels and beautiful scenic route.

[@tennesseenana4838]

Copper Mt area is beyond beautiful in the fall with all of the autumn colors.

[@TravelsWithAbby]

Super ride along, Russ, thank you. Magnificent scenery; can’t wait for more!

[@vincentrvlife2393]

Hi Russ, I really enjoyed the ride in your video today. For extra realism I kicked back the recliner when you were climbing up those mountains. 😊 Stay safe out there and thanks for letting me hitch a ride.

[@relxme2]

FYI Russ. The Eisenhower tunnel runs East to West. The tunnel that you drove through was the Johnson tunnel which runs West to East. Everyone seems to call it the Eisenhower tunnel no matter which way there going. Beautiful scenery all along I-70 especially in Glenwood Canyon.

[@lvglen]

Don't you mean Glenwood Canyon? Glen Canyon is back down near Page, Arizona.

[@relxme2]

Glen Tubbesing My bad. I’ll edit that. Thanks

[@lvglen]

@@relxme2 no worries!

[@jumbo2944]

I lived in Vail during the late 90's. Travelled this road a lot. Thanks for the memories

[@TracyRhodes768]

That is a amazing road with some of the most beautiful scenery that I have ever seen. It was breathtaking on our trip from Denver to las Vegas. We went from a snow storm in Denver to desert in Utah. The greatest creator of all, God, has given us something that man will never be able to create. Enjoy it!!

[@thomascampbell1267]

Great ride along. The tunnels are amazing and think what it took to dig thru them. Stay safe

[@janeforever]

Can't escape the heat going N. It'll b hot in the Dakotas this time of the year. Lived it for 6 yrs.

[@markbeaver5010]

Beautiful drive, reminds me of parts of Idaho with the rafting and fishing. Thanks Russ!!!

[@therealamazingsomebody]

Been watching your channel for a couple years now and you are so relaxing, Russ.

[@CRP60]

Sitting here waiting for your video! Thanks Russ, love all your videos. Last year we were in Oregon and traveled some of the same roads and places you did. We spent about 5 hours in the Hood River Providence Hospital when our daughter had a gall stone attack, not quite the memory we wanted to remember!

[@halabujioutdoors]

Awesome! Really scenic highway, I-70. Stopped exact same pull out on the way back from Arches National Park via Grand Junction, CO on late January, 2020. There were more vehicles in Vail resorts areas back then than as your episode shows in late July. Thanks for sharing your Virtual Vacation!

[@milehighkit4725]

I had a little shop for a while in Glenwood springs back in the 90s when they filmed the movie flashback. With Dennis Hopper and Kiefer Sutherland. The bridge scene was at 4.20 :-)

[@ZahaA]

Beautiful drive 🚐. Thanks Russ. Stay safe 😷

[@johnsonjohnson2777]

Thanks Russ, now I knw what I-70 looks like.. Its just like I'm traveling also in that particular highway for free while watching your videos.. Thanks for keep sharing your travel videos.. Keep it up..

[@BigJeremyBeyer]

In 2000, my transmission locked into neutral halfway through the tunnel at the divide. Since it was tall downhill, short uphill, tall downhill, short uphill from there, and it was 2am with no other traffic, I coasted all the way to Idaho Springs before the van couldn't make the uphill.

[@apex_ventures]

Love the idea of traveling indefinitely. Especially by road. Every day I'm one step closer to living that dream. I bought a pickup truck this year and now just waiting for high season to end on buying a travel trailer. In late August I expect prices to drop and parks to be more accesible due to less traffic (again summer peak season). The big wildcard is covid. Hopefully things improve on that front. Stay safe Russ, I enjoy your videos.

[@jurgenvandenbergh5082]

Happy trails 🏕

[@kebbenmilliman4206]

lived in Colorado for two years. beautiful location. Thanks Russ, be safe

[@sandratessem9980]

I drove it many times back in the day. Thanks for the memories

[@momsvancrazyjourney4443]

I drove that road a couple of weeks ago. In spite of the road construction, it is an absolutely breathtaking drive! It didn't cool down til we got to the rest area in Vail.

[@j-marie4006]

Your latest videos are really good! Enjoying the ride!

[@garymann5998]

Great video, views were fantastic, never been there but someday would like to, thanks for the views Russ. Travel safe

[@MSDOGS1976]

I drove this 2 summers ago. Love Colorado.

[@maxroelen3608]

Last time thru the Rockies along I 70, I was west bound on AMTRAK from Naperville, IL in 2015. I drove a big rig east bound in 1999. Beautiful part of the US no matter what mode of transportation you take!

[@sherryware]

I was hoping to see Glenwood Springs along I-70. I use to live there. My daughter was born there. You mentioned Rifle, west of Glenwood. I lived there too. I traveled that stretch of highway often. Very familiar, though it's been a while. Thanks for the virtual drive.

[@shirleyjordan6340]

Pretty, pretty ride! Thanks for letting me tag along. Be Safe!

[@rogerbrekas8239]

Does no return was quite spectacular green as long as it is and that 11000 foot elevation. We've been through it a couple times once on a motorcycle.

[@david_sdiego]

Did those tunnels back in '74 on a Suzuki GT-380. Had to downshift from 6th to 3rd gear to make it.

[@redron4946]

Thanks. You are showing me things and places I have never learned about.

[@psimms988]

Took 70 from pa to grand junction. Loved it. Nice video. Thanks!

[@markshaw7947]

I picture a Harley Davidson in your future Russ ! Channel your inner BIKER ! Thanks for the great videos.

[@johntilson2535]

The stark relief of the mountains against the sky indicates clean DRY air! 2:59

[@kevinp2820]

Looks like you made good time getting into and out of the Denver area. Great ride today. Thanks Russ! See You Soon!

[@mrs.g.9816]

After watching your video - I just had to listen to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High". I love being in the passenger seat of your RV! I hope we Americans can continue to cherish and protect our natural heritage. I hope someday I can visit Colorado (and Montana, too) before I get too old.

[@rickvega9943]

Thanks for the great ride...you are the best for RV travels...what a beautiful country we have. Travel safe.

[@toy4x4nj]

I was in Colorado 2018 for Vacation. went to the The Georgetown Loop Railroad . Last minute decision to drive west some more just to drive through the Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel.

[@Cpcsof1]

Back in 2012, I camped underneath the I-70 overpass in idaho springs on the way to sturgis. They were overhauling the overpass. I didn't realize they worked at night until the jackhammers fired up after midnight!

[@brindahoward4527]

I live a mile north of 70 in central Indiana. Not quite the same scenery. I like yours better. Thanks for sharing

[@wandasantiago9220]

I love the view! Thanks for sharing it! Safe driving!

[@debbicox2776]

Russ, it's in the 90's close to 100's here in Neb. You're going to 3 of my favorite states. It's all breath taking! Wish I was there. I would have liked to see what it looked like from the high road but you would have to be going back that way. You were on the low road. Ha!

[@margaretgarnto6272]

I love this video. My favorite parts were the tunnels. I'm a tunnel nut, and I love tunnels.

[@bosse641]

Leadville is the highest town in the US. ...interesting place. Would be a nice place to live I think. Never too hot, and never too cold.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Very nice weather we've had for these rides.

[@dannyburrell4014]

Talking about cooler weather I spent July 4th week in Breckinridge a couple of years ago and had to wear a sweatshirt when the sun went down.

[@corwynhoward269]

I love that section of I-70 thru Glenwood Canyon with the elevated west bound lanes. It is spectacular. Great video.

[@gypsyrvsue2530]

You just drove by my stick and bricks just as you got off the mtn. Stay safe on your trip up North.

[@franklinl.3116]

Good morning Russ. Good to be on the road with you !

[@lyndahardy8168]

Lived in Denver in 2015-2016 and drove that route on weekend trips. Loved loved loved it. I saw more on your video since I wasn’t driving this time. Thanks for the video! 👍💕

[@DeanJohnson67]

will be taking the west to east route next Saturday for an annual 10 day camping trip! thanks for posting!

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!! Great views!! Sturgis sounds good!! You did good there last year!! Stay Safe!!

[@Skidoo22]

This is such a cool one Russ, driven this route a couple of times, to Wolf Creek Ski and to Grand Junction. You could get lost in those pine trees living in a cabin!

[@billbeverly2864]

Enjoyed the ride.

[@888jerm888]

It’s been more than 10 years since I’ve been there!!

[@cherylbravin3868]

hay thanks safe travels

[@kimiaartista6242]

Pretty.

[@Graygeezer]

I almost got eaten by a huge snow plow at the the eastbound end of Eisenhower Tunnel. I had pulled over as far right as possible to put snow chains back on to descend into Denver. I was wearing cowboy boots on the packed snow and almost couldn’t get out of the way in time. Beautiful drive up that way. I hope to get back up there some day.

[@mrv911]

That was a beautiful video on I-70. Just incredibly scenic and worth the drive to view it. It is totally different from the Central Valley in California.

[@zomadee1007]

I thank those who built this road for their immense achievement. Their effort cannot be diminished. However, the west -bound side hill is way too steep for trucks. It’s time to rebuild those 6%-7% grade portions using newer technology. This was built with 1950s concept. We can mobilize to raise money and make this road less risky.

[@rally618]

Glenwood Canyon and I-70 is on my bucket list. And stops in Georgetown, Dillon . Nice drive!

[@agnaldos80]

I enjoyed this video a lot I drove on this area a lot also and I’ve always enjoyed it have a safe drive

[@Julie-gr1nf]

Wow!! I'm glad your driving!! Beautiful !!

[@56fordthunderbird]

brings back a lot of memories,thanks so much

[@donnakuykendall5402]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....such a beautiful drive ! Thanks so much Russ ! Might try to get to Sturgis myself . Stay safe !

[@desertrose9499]

Beautiful! How amazing. Great video....I feel like I am on the road 🤗

[@wilfordclement5611]

Beautiful drive excellent video, well watch it over and over

[@gregorysmall9284]

Just did that drive today coming back from Moab.

[@Mars_Life_and_Beings]

Once I sheared off 2 lug nuts right before the Eisenhower tunnel. Took the dealer 10days to order them.

[@stephanielong6879]

Tunnel vision! Great views all around!

[@marcusstevens6774]

Best Views to my taste... Been following you since AZ... Navajo from New Mexico... Thanks for Sharing... Enjoining your virtual vaca 2020

[@linmartinez5970]

We’ve been watching for two months now and love your videos. We appreciate the clean windows 😃 and all the care you put into the cameras and drone. The videos have really helped during this time of being shut in. Look forward every day to a new trip and sad when the show ends. We now are looking back at your past trips. Wanted you to know how much these mean to us and your followers. Stay cool 😎 out there this. Weekend here is hot hot hot 🥵. J&L

[@bobevansIW]

Nice one Russ, very picturesque. Stay safe

[@peaceone786]

Thanks for sharing nice video.

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

Next time instead of the tunnel take the old highway and see the seven sisters. They are avalanche areas in winter but pretty awesome in somewhere. Havagudun Russ.

[@debrabradburn4074]

Beautiful countryside.

[@ctruthtoday]

At 11.45 there is C.S. in the clouds. Real clear.i would not want to be in one of those tunnels during a earthquake.. NO. Nice drive, thank you Russ.

[@jeannettewehner2360]

I'm in Fort Lupton, just north of Denver. You should have waved when you passed my Rt 52 exit! LOL!

[@anthonyrenaud5783]

Always a beautiful drive to and from Moab, Utah.

[@davidgustafson3651]

It's been over 50 years since I've been on that road. Before that tunnel was there.

[@petepeterson4540]

dang your getting real close but good afternoon any way

[@east85thstreet]

When you get back to Co. the Colorado Springs/Pikes Peak area is very pretty. I was stationed at Ft. Carson ( winter of 1968-69).

[@ssharp11]

Another great drive on the virtual 2020 vacation. Thank you. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

[@butchkelin3762]

If you were looking for cooler temps you may have found them at higher altitudes like Leadville, currently 66F. Going north will take you to lower altitudes and even warmer temps. Rapid City is 79 right now.

[@billginnj6595]

I-70 is getting to be in pretty sad shape........... Beautiful drive on I-70!

[@kenmusil8076]

Heading to Angostura SP next week. Great park to cool off, only in the lake though. Located just south of Hot Springs, SD. Might head into Sturgis. Wear your mask!!

[@kevinbrown1629]

The interstate system wasn't considered finished until Glenwood Canyon was finished. It's my opinion that it's the most beautiful road I've ever driven.
