Itaska Navion iQ towing Honda CRV, Oklahoma’s Northwest Passage, State Highway 3, September 6, 2011
Northwest Passage–On to Colorado (Haw Creek)
Most of our trips to and from Colorado have required crossing two or more states to go between Arkansas and Colorado. Our last two trips traveling to Colorado, though, have crossed only Oklahoma by going though Oklahoma’s panhandle, a relatively narrow section of land that separates the Texas panhandle from Colorado and Kansas.
From Canton Lake to the Colorado border, we traveled State Highway 3, the longest highway in the Oklahoma road system. The portion we traveled is officially designated “Governor George Nigh’s Northwest Passage.”
