This was such a nice stop. Bathrooms were very clean. We enjoyed walking the path that went under the bridge. Beautiful and peaceful spot despite the traffic on the interstate.

Beautiful rest stop just outside of Glenwood Springs. My husband and I stopped here to stretch our legs and enjoy the scenery. It was gorgeous and we got beautiful photos together

I know I often say that a place is my favorite… but O M Gggg! This place is heaven on earth. Those places you feel like you only see in movies is here. My smile was from ear to ear to see so much beauty in one place. It’s mesmerizing and I personally did not want to leave. Don’t take my word just go and explore for yourself but don’t blame me if you never want to leave.

This rest area has extremely nice views. It is worth the stop, if you have to go to the bathroom. The picnic tables are well placed to enjoy the view. The bathrooms look like something from prison surplus. The have a nice grassy area for dogs plus poop bags.

Great spot to stop and rest and get in the Colorado river. Terrific spot to take photos. It is worth the stop.

Very Quant place to stop and use the facilities. They keep this rest so clean as I'm sure they can, and the grounds are beautifully kept up and is a great place to stop and go for a hike. Berry pretty for a rest area!

Five-star rest stop. The Grizzly Creek intersects with the Colorado River here and it is stunning.

Located directly under i-70, it was still a pleasant evening. Nothing to complain about especially since this overnight stop was free.

We almost just drove right past this 5 star gem!! We had to go to the bathroom so we took this exit and discovered so much more! Access to the Colorado River, nice bathrooms and beautiful scenery to enjoy and take a break from your drive. Loved it so much!

The Grizzly Creek Rest Area on I-70 not only offered not a nice restroom break but a fantastic view of the area and panels describing the history of the I-70 Glenwood Canyon project.

Added to that was the beauty of the mountains, terrain, and a walking bridge showing the extreme power of a tributary flowing into the Colorado River.

It also seemed to be a popular place for exploring among hikers and bikers.

This was definitely one of my favorite stops.

Beautiful Rest stop "No Name" offers a beautiful view of the hillside, as well as an excellent place to walk your dog. There is a paved pathway down near the water, so visitors can enjoy a relaxing stroll! Although I didn't see any wildlife, there is evidence of beavers. You can hear the birds, signifying warmer weather is almost here!

Not much Truck parking, 3 or 4 legal spots is my guess. Plenty of passenger vehicle parking. Heading West, exit 121, is a little tight for a 72' rig. Got a good night's rest. Restrooms were clean.

If you are in a semi, odds are that you will not find a spot here. There's enough space for two tractors with trailers to line up on the side of the road as you enter. It is not easy to get in and out of.

There is a truck parking lane as you enter as well as three large parking sections by the restrooms. The restrooms are very clean by rest stop standards. Now the main reason for this review, this has to be one of the prettiest rest stops I have ever seen, the scenery and proximity to the river are 100% top notch

This was our first stop in Colorado, and we watched the sunrise over the mountains. It was breathtaking. We were able walk down by the river and let our fur baby run for a bit. I saw birds I've never seen before and while it was freezing cold, it was also exhilarating!

Great place to stop along I-70 for a rest or walk. Beautiful spot along the river. Great for walking hiking family fishing. Good for rest as well. Plenty of parking. Plus it's called "No Name" so that's pretty cool!

Come on, it's a rest area! This rest stop at No Name, Just east of Glenwood Springs is super clean and actually open! It's a nice place to take a rest and stretch the legs while on a mountain drive, plenty of parking for pretty much any vehicle, a grassy area for pets, and the view is spectacular! Also, there's a hidden cantina at the very end of the campground for a quick bite while enjoying the canyon!

Absolutely astounding picturesque rest stop. You can walk down along the banks of the Colorado river and sit or you can walk over and get some cool air coming off Grizzly creek.

Beautiful landscape, lovely building nestled right off the highway. You can see wildlife roaming the area and a green background of the mountains. Restrooms are clean and well stocked
