| | End of U.S. Highway 285 [II] |
 | | One of my favorite vistas is on 285 southbound from Denver, coming over Kenosha Pass and watching the hillsides suddenly give way and open up to the panorama of South Park - the broad, flat expanse lying between the Front Range and the jagged 14-ers of the Mosquito Range. |
 | | In 1979, when the 285 designation was truncated back to its current terminus at the I-25 interchange, all (except the northernmost mile) of the decommissioned segment became part of Colorado Highway 30 (the west end of which used to be on 6th Avenue at Havana, as shown on the map on this page). |
 | | Personally, I think signage for 285 should change at the C-470 interchange: signs along 285 southwest of there wouldn't change, but east of C-470 it would be considered an east/west route and signed accordingly. |
