PICT1751When driving on the I-70 toward Colorado, if your Subaru is buff enough, you will finally come upon Vail Pass, at a breathtaking 10,603 feet. 

Now, anyone who’s been mountain climbing in the Cascades knows that at about 10,000 feet, you see snow and ice and Glaciers and you lose your breath and have to start wearing gear and all sorts of things. 

So of course, I see that sign, and had to verify, for myself, if they really meant it, and if this pass was indeed at 10,600 feet above sea level.
