Driving through central Colorado from the southwest on US 285 is a real experience. The road travels generally northeast to Denver. Shy of the 50 miles or so southwest of Denver the road is essentially empty, or at least it was on this Saturday morning. It passes through large valleys from which looking west one can see many of the "fourteen-ers" and other higher snow capped Rocky mountains. When it goes through the mountain passes, they are somewhat lower than those west or south, but the views are still spectacular. Often, too, the road travels through small towns, like Poncha Springs, where I took this photo of the Jackson Hotel. The sign just below the hotel name reads "EST - 1878".
