Glenwood Canyon

Everyone should drive through Glenwood Canyon on I-70. It is not just the thin air that takes your breath away, but the view really makes your lungs run on overdrive. No matter where I looked, I was surrounded by giant rocks. Being in this canyon, I felt as if I were viewing Ansel Adams pictures in an IMAX theater in color.

Unfortunately, I could not really find good angles to take pictures at this canyon because I had to stay with the flow of traffic. The only place to stop is the emergency lane, but I was too busy enjoying the drive on this Autobahn like highway. The highway in this canyon has elevated sections, salivating switchbacks, and a tunnel that borough through earth. It gave me a new appreciation for civil engineering.

The late afternoon sun and the clouds created the most beautiful shadow show. Even the best Hollywood special effect team would not be able to reproduce the feeling of awe that I got from this majestic scenery.
