Highway 285 looks like any other Colorado road—towering peaks, winding curves, and the occasional herd of elk crossing at the worst possible time. But for decades, travelers have reported something far stranger than mountain traffic: hours lost without explanation, watches running backwards, and eerie silences where time itself seems to bend.

In this episode of Mile High Mysteries, we explore the strange accounts tied to this stretch of highway. From truck drivers swearing they skipped whole towns, to hikers who emerged hours later than they should have, we dive into the unsettling possibility that Colorado’s mountains hold more than just snow and scenery. Is Highway 285 a glitch in reality—or just another road trip story gone too far?
