These free binoculars may be found at the No Name Rest Stop on Interstate 70 which winds beautifully through the Glenwood Canyon. The binoculars rotate 360° to allow views of both sides of the canyon. IN addition to watching Bighorn Sheep (the Colorado State Animal), you may watch birds of prey (including bald eagles who sometimes winter in the canyon), trains on the south side of the canyon (the famous California Zephyr) or traffic on I-70 on the decks that protected this fragile canyon.
There are two binoculars: one at standing height and one as sitting or child height. The area is wheelchair accessible. There are informational plaques around the area that explain the wildlife as well as the highway and geology of the canyon.
