Avon: I-70 West
Few places in Colorado’s Eagle River Valley have a history as closely tied to the railroad as Avon. Established as a rail stop in the late 19th century, the town developed on a narrow valley floor where the Eagle River, the railroad corridor and today’s Interstate 70 run alongside one another. I-70 West forms part of the principal cross-Colorado route linking Denver with mountain communities and Utah. Avon also serves Beaver Creek Resort, while Harry A. Nottingham Park and Nottingham Lake provide public space near its centre. Housing, hotels, shops and service businesses share the valley with the highway, framed by forested slopes of the central Rockies. This transport role and resort economy give Avon a practical, year-round character.

Among the states of the United States, Colorado stands out for the high Rocky Mountain country running through its centre. Around this part of the state, forested slopes, open basins and granite outcrops form the interior landscape of the Rockies, where conditions can change rapidly with the season. The Continental Divide crosses Colorado, separating waters that flow toward the Pacific from those bound for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Arkansas River rises in the central Rockies and is one of the state’s major waterways. Admitted to the Union in 1876, Colorado is still known as the Centennial State.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
