One of the most scenic places any long distance Amtrak train traverses is Glenwood Canyon. In addition to the tracks and the Colorado River, the canyon contains I-70. This was one of the final major pieces of the interstate system to be completed. Until the 1980s, I-70 was just a two lane highway through the canyon. Now, it is four lanes through the entire thing.
