This longhorn cow is in a snowy field near Sugarcreek, Ohio just off County Road 70.

This photo of I-70 was taken here, near Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

Interstate 70 (I-70) is an Interstate Highway in the United States that runs from Interstate 15 near Cove Fort, Utah, to a Park and Ride near Baltimore, Maryland. It was the first Interstate Highway project in the United States. I-70 approximately traces the path of U.S. Route 40 (and also the old National Road) east of the Rocky Mountains. West of the Rockies, the route of I-70 was derived from multiple sources. I-70 is the fifth longest Interstate Highway, after I-90I-80I-40, and I-10.

The construction of I-70 in Colorado and Utah is considered an engineering marvel as the route passes through the Eisenhower TunnelGlenwood Canyon, and the San Rafael Swell. The Eisenhower Tunnel is the highest point along theInterstate Highway system with an elevation of 11,158 ft (3,401 m).

The arrow shows the exact location I was standing for the picture.
