    Going eastbound is more uphill than down, since Denver is the mile high city. But those downhill stretches can be a real bear if you are not careful.
    Wasn't there something in the news a few years back about a driver failing to control his downhill speed coming into the Denver area and plowing into a bunch of vehicles, killing several?
    I-70 into Denver from the pass is like a roller coaster.

    I'm governed at 70, but I'd rather have the routes with the less mountains though lol...

    Wouldn't that add some more miles to my trip?
