== Travel == The main interstate highways that run through the Front Range are [[Interstate 70]], which crosses west of Denver, Colorado, and [[Interstate 80]], which crosses near Laramie, Wyoming. [[U.S. Route 34]] travels through the mountains near [[Loveland, Colorado]], although this route is typically closed from October to May.<ref>{{cite web |title=Road Status Report - Rocky Mountain National Park (U.S. National Park Service) |url=https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/road_status.htm#trr |website=www.nps.gov |access-date=8 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190208103138/https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/road_status.htm |archive-date=8 February 2019 |language=en}}</ref> [[U.S. Route 24 in Colorado|U.S. Route 24]] travels through the southern Front Range west of [[Colorado Springs, Colorado|Colorado Springs]], eventually connecting with I-70 west of [[Vail, Colorado]]. Along with the roads that run through the Front Range, the [[Union Pacific Railroad]] operates two rail lines through the mountains. The first [[Overland Route (Union Pacific Railroad)|Overland Route]], transiting southern Wyoming, runs parallel to I-80 for much of its way. The second is the former [[Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad]] Moffat Route, which runs parallel to the Colorado River and through the 6.5-mile-long [[Moffat Tunnel]]. Originally the [[Denver and Salt Lake Railway]], the former Rio Grande is used for freight by both Union Pacific and [[BNSF]], and it is also used by [[Amtrak]]'s ''[[California Zephyr]]'' and ''[[Winter Park Express]]''.
