As we approach SH-59, we’re advised to follow 59 north to Seibert and stay on 40/287 for Limon.

Location: US-40 and CO-59, Kit Carson

On the west end of Kit Carson, we’ll come to a junction with SH-59. 59 doesn’t really go anywhere so it isn’t marked in advance. From here it heads up towards I-70 at Seibert, and then takes a zig-zaggy path all the way up to Sedgwick, just south of the Nebraska line without passing through anything significant
