All of Denver uses that stretch of I-70 when they access the mountains and beyond (Summit County, Copper, Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, Beaver Creek, Winter Park, Fruita, Grand Junction, Moab etc).
The drive from Moab (east bound) to Denver via I-70 is an amazingly scenic drive. It features that section in the video, but Vail pass seems like an endless climb in comparison. The highway west of Glenwood springs (I-70 through Glenwood Canyon) is really something to tow through. It's a raised highway, a twisty road up in the sky with nothing much between you and a 'death on the left' plunge into the Colorado river.
It gets your ready for the real exposure you encounter off road in Moab and Fruita/GJ. :B
