Grizzly Creek Rest Area

The Grizzly Creek Rest Area along Interstate 70 in Colorado, just east of Glenwood Springs.


From Vision to Reality

Glenwood Canyon has been a critical link in the nation’s ground transportation network ever since the completion of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in 1887 Later, Taylor State Road, a continuous wagon road between Denver and Grand Junction, opened to automobile traffic in 1902. Improvements to the highway occurred when it was renamed U.S. Highway and 24 in 1936. When President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1960 signed the National Highway Bill authorizing the construction of Interstate 70.

Glenwood Canyon was proposed as part of the transcontinental route. Not until 1975, however, did the canyon officially become a link in the 1-70-corridor. Then came the long planning, design.
and construction phases-a process that took nearly twenty years. These panels

A Promise Made

The process of planning and designing the new highway through Glenwood Canyon was lengthy, intense and public. Designers were especially challenged to create model graphics that would realistically depict the finished product. They did this by using artists renderings, sophisticated computer simulations. and actual models. Designers walked every foot of the canyop many times and literally adjusted the location of the road by inches to save a tree or keep from blasting a cliff face. It was this personal commitment excellence and attention to detalk that ulti- mately gave the people-what they wanted- the best that can be accomplished in highway design and construction.

Melanie Brennan Hanneman-Medina

(from the Obituary)
Our beloved mother, sister, auntie and friend, Melanie C. Brennan (Hanneman-Medina) drew her last breath at 1:37pm on Monday, October 5, 2020. Melanie was born on October 27, 1960 to Paul Brennan and Charrie Wagstaff.

Melanie’s kids, grandpuppies, nieces and nephews were her world. Without whom, she’d be lost… Just as we are all lost now that she’s gone. Though we will be forever in anguish missing this amazing woman, some may take comfort in the thought that she has an abundance of loved ones that she’s finally being reunited with.

Melanie lived an exciting life full of laughs, travel, love, and strength. Last year she was finally able to fulfill a lifelong desire to visit Ireland, Wales, and England (She may or may not have been stalking Paul McCartney). Mel shone a light beyond comparison on all who had the privilege to encounter her and loved her biker friends/ chosen family from an unfathomable depth and with undying loyalty. She was, and always will be, a diehard Raiders fan and was obsessed with all things related to The Beatles.

Graveside services will be held at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 E. Dimple Dell Road (10600 S.) Sandy, UT 84092 on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at 2pm. There will be an informal gathering where loved ones will have the opportunity to speak and share stories and are encouraged to bring their bikes and send her off with a thundering roar! After the services, adults can meet at The Midway, 7176 S 900 E, Midvale, UT 84047 to spend time together and share memories.
