Centrally located next to Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins, this 55-mile byway is an easy day trip for most visitors coming from the cities. It also happens to be Colorados oldest state park. Although many people come to admire the mountain landscape and views of the Continental Divide, this drive also attracts leaf peepers when the forests turn deep shades of reds, browns, and yellows in autumn. This scenic drive also takes you to numerous parks and sights along the way, including the Rocky Mountain National Park, the Golden Gate Canyon State Park, and the Eldora Ski Resort. You will also have the chance to stop at the Hesse and Apex ghost towns or to go gold pining in Boulder Creek.
