Reassurance shield at the beginning of SH-119- a very diverse route that passes through many miles of mountains as a narrow, windy mountain road before descending into Boulder and becoming a major expressway through the area

A few miles into its route, SH-119 will enter Black Hawk, home of a bunch of casinos. It is a pretty fancy tourist destination
