Day 7 (07/20/2001) Utah/Colorado Trip

We started the morning early leaving Golden, Colorado to begin our journey back towards the west. We grabbed I-70 for an exciting trip back through the Rocky Mountains and passing the Continental Divide at Vail Pass with an elevation of 10,666 feet and passing through four tunnels along the trip. This path took us through the ski towns of Vail, Eagle, Gypsum, and Gleenwood Springs. Once in the town of Rifle we exited I-70 for lunch at KFC and then continued our trip North along Highway 13 to the town of Meeker where we proceeded West along Highway 64 through Rangely and Dinosaur where we caught US-40 West and crossed back into Utah. We stopped briefly for a tour of the Dinosaur National Monument then we continued westward along US-40 through Vernal, Roosevelt, and Herber City, where we finally stopped for night in Park City, Utah.
