Up into the Rockies.
What a gorgeous drive along 70 with railroad tracks and the river weaving to one side of the highway and then the other. The wife thought it was more impressive than Utah's landscape. I'm not sure. Utah's scenery is explosive, impossible, violent and fascinating. It is not reassuring. You are very aware you're in harsh (alien) terrain. In Colorado you feel more like you're in nature. It must be the trees. The wife is fond of trees and not so fond of desert. And the river. Having the river so close to the road is reassuring as if to say if your car (or horse and buggy) died on you here you could homestead just fine. Not us, we know nothing of homesteading but a given person could I suspect.
Here's a bonus Utah pic:
