We are now retired and I have our summer trip to Colorado planned. We share the driving.
I want to travel the back roads and blue highways. I want to take our time. The Interstates make me nervous and they are boring.
What do you think?
Interstates are statistically safer, but as Benjamin Disraeli said, "There are three kinds of lies, lies, dirty lies, and statistics." He said this before Mark Twain. Driving on the freeway is for speed, nothing else: except maybe I70 between Denver and Grand Junction.
We lived in Colorado for 11 years, and the "Blue Highways" in that state are epic! You will not be sorry if you explore the Colorado Blue Highways, 285, 34, and 40 are all easy, and non-boring drives; it's okay for tourists to drive slow.
