    Picture is taken in Stalheimskleivane: www.google.no/search?q=Stalheimskleivane www.nettavisen.no/innenriks/article1258766.ece (check brake & clutch before entering :) The road is still open, but the main road is going through a tunnel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_route_E16
  • Øyvind Heen said:
    This is not a part of Hardangerfjord. The road between Voss and Stalheim continues down the Naeroydalen valley and ends in Gudvangen. This is where Naeroyfjord starts (UNESCO World Heritage). Naeroyfjord is a branch of the longest fjord in Norway, Sognefjord (204 km long). Check out www.naeroyfjord.com

    Nærøydalen – Then and Now (100+ years later)

    The road is now paved ... but looks to be just as steep and banked.

    Sweet ride!
  • Jochen Wachter said:
    I believe this is actually not near Creede, CO at all. A horizon this flat can only be seen near the front range in Colorado. I would guess that this is taken on US-40 climbing Mount Vernon Canyon west of Golden, CO, facing west. The hill in the center just below the horizon would then be Green Mountain south of Golden. These days, I-70 takes up most of this valley, as you can see in this shot facing uphill: www.dot.state.co.us/50anniversary/images/I70Photos/I70Mou...

    Custos2001, thanks for the information! For now, we're gathering the suggestions and corrections, but will hold off on making changes until more comments come in.

    brilliant, love this. I know exactly where it was taken from. Today I will redo it from the same spot for the 2021 view.

    Looks like it was taken from here on the 25" OSI.

    That road looks fun. Wonder if it's still there?
  • Zeb Palmer said:
    it's been rebuilt. there aren't any curves in it anymore. one straight long hill called "freezeout."
  • Robert Carrier said:
    Well, that's too bad. Thanks for the info.
  • nasck said:
    !!! lindo...
  • Kevin Tower said:
    zebthepilot: Isn't this what is referred to as the "old freezeout road" nowadays? The mainline is (for the most part) straight downhill, but I believe the original road still exists. Follow this link to see what I mean.
