Colorado State Highway 133 winds its way north of Paonia and up into McClure Pass(8,775 feet). Signs of Spring were emerging as the Aspens were sprouting its bright green leaves and the vineyards of Paonia were becoming verdant.
Highway 46 starts in California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley and ends just south of Cambria on the Pacific Ocean Coastline. It is somewhat famous for being the road that James Dean reached a dead end with his Porsche in 1955. There is a James Dean Memorial Junction at the intersection of Hwy 46 and 41. But the route also contains some of the best farmland this country has to offer including nut trees, citrus, and vineyards at Paso Robles.
