    We’re heading to CO from PA. I’ve always taken I70 but I80 is about the same travel time. For those of you who have traveled 70 & 80 traveling from the east to west or vice versa, do you prefer one over the other?

    Co 371

    I’ve hunted 36 a few times but have tossed around and looked at 371 often. What scares me is that it seems like there’s a trail that leads into or above (almost) every drainage.
