As the Zephyr continues to gain altitude, the amount of snow still on the ground is increasing. The Zephyr is just about to enter Tunnel 8, which has a pretty significant bend to the left as you head west. This is the final opportunity for passengers to look out over the Colorado plains to the east. After emerging from Tunnel 8, the train is will in Eldorado Canyon, and the plains will no longer be visible.
