Snow and Ice



The frozen Bridal Veil Falls with its large wooden waterwheel in Idaho Springs sits against the mountains on the south side of I-70 across from Idaho Springs. It’s a beautiful sight in the morning driving west to ski, and even prettier in the late afternoon with the sunset behind the waterfall. The mountain leans into the highway towering over the cars that pass beneath.

Another favorite part of the drive to ski is at Eisenhower Tunnel near Loveland Pass. The traffic in the afternoon is heavy and slow, but with the Continental Divide framing the tunnel the wait is easy and relaxing.
