As its name suggests, this scenic byway travels next to the banks of the powerful Colorado River. This 80-mile journey leads you right into the Southern Rocky Mountain to Grand Lake, which is the largest body of water in the entire state (and a great spot for fishing or boating). On your way, you will get to visit the charming towns of State Bridge and Kremmling, as well as the Routt, White River, and Arapaho National Forests. And if you need a place to relax after such a long drive, then the soothing waters in Hot Sulphur Springs are guaranteed to help those aching muscles. Just make sure you leave enough time to explore the last stop on your journey the Rocky Mountain National Park.
