Snow still clings to the spruce as your driver slides the vehicle onto I-70, and the mountains slowly yield to the wide, open plains. The road unwinds through Vail Pass, drops into Glenwood Canyon’s vertical rock walls, and then eases into the broad high plain that leads to Denver. The car’s heated seats and a low hum of tires on wet asphalt make the moving landscape feel deliberate rather than rushed.
