With Colorado's highest peaks on all sides, this aptly named road travels right through the center of the Rocky Mountains. The Top of the Rockies byway crosses the Continental Divide twice as it travels south along the spine of North America. The scenery is spectacular and the well-maintained road is kept open year-round.
