Another cool drive is from Trinidad to Raton through the Raton pass on I-25. I'll probably take I-70 out just to go through the Eisenhower tunnel and Glenwood Canyon for the thrills. I first went through Glenwood Canyon in 1973 when it was still 2-lane U. S. 6; building it seemed one mile a year through the Canyon.

I was on the way to Vernal, after my sophomore year in College, with my Millwright buddies who were wildcatting out of Vernal. Had to BYOB since Utah only sold near beer unless you belonged to a club. Back then, you could only get Coors west of the Mississippi ...

I do the Trinidad to Raton over Raton pass several times a year. The in-laws are up in Colorado and that's how we go. Went through there a couple months ago and the North-bound I-25 was shut down as they were doing controlled demolotion of the mountain and to prevent accidental rock slides. That North-bound was buried. Pretty neat to see.

Wolf-Creek Pass is the pass to drive. It's soooo steep. But really pretty. Also La Manga Pass is very nice as well.
