US 24 begins northwest of Detroit and heads south through Michigan, crossing into Ohio at Toledo. From Toledo, US 24 heads southwest to Fort Wayne, Indiana and then west to Peoria, Illinois. US 24 reaches the Mississippi River at Quincy, Illinois and crosses into Missouri where it continues heading southwest to Kansas City. In Kansas US 24 heads predominantly west, passing through Manhattan on its way to Colorado where it passes through Limon and Colorado Springs before heading into the mountains. From Colorado Springs US 24 continues heading west to Buena Vista, then turns north, passing through Leadville before ending at I-70.

We drove US 24 from end to end and took these photographs in July 2002.
