The I-70 Mountain Corridor is the 144-mile stretch of Interstate 70 between Glenwood Springs and the C-470 interchange at Golden — the road almost every skier takes to reach Colorado’s Front Range resorts. It crosses Vail Pass at 10,662 feet and tops out at 11,158 feet in the Eisenhower–Johnson Memorial Tunnel, so the weather at either end of the drive says very little about the weather in the middle.

I-70 Ski Corridor End to End: States, Miles and Mile Markers

I-70 Ski Corridor runs 144 miles west to east from Glenwood Springs, Colorado to Golden, Colorado, entirely inside Colorado.

State Miles Cities and mile markers
Colorado 144 Vail 60 · Denver 144 (11 mi off)

Mile markers count from each state's western line and start again at the next one, which is how most states number their exits as well. They are measured along the same road geometry these pages draw, so they land within a mile or two of the posted markers. A toll road that runs its own continuous numbering is the exception — on the New York Thruway the posts continue from New York City — and there the figure is how far into the state the place is rather than the number on the sign. Distances are measured state by state, never across a gap.
