I Planing a trip to head out west to Glenwood Springs. I have decided I am going to take hwy 24 all the way, better scenery as opposed to I25 and I70. I am having a hard time deciding if I want to take independence pass into aspen then head west or if I want to take hwy 24 to Eagle-Vail then hop on I70. Has anybody gone over independence pass? How was it? Also has anybody taken is route on their bike?
