LEADVILLE, CO - - We spent a good portion of today (Tuesday) on I-70 as we made our way from Filmore, UT to Leadville. At the Spotted Wolf Canyon viewpoint one could get a good idea of therigors of building the road. On the left is the San Rafael Ridge, a 30 mile long ridge; on the right is Spotted Wolf Canyon. When the road was started, workers could stand between the two and touch each side. Once completed in 1970, the two lane road connected Fremont Junction with Green River Junction (UT). An additional two lanes were added in 1980.
