US Highway 287 travels almost 1900 miles from Choteau, MT (US 89) to Port Arthur, TX (TX 87/16th St.). From its intersection with US 89 in Choteau, it goes south to the west entrance of Yellowstone and restarts at the south entrance. It continues across Wyoming to Denver then to north of Amarillo, TX where it finally meets its parent route - US 87. From Amarillo, it splits off southeast through Fort Worth and finally ending at TX State Highway 87 in Port Arthur. Colorado State Highway 7 is about 82 miles from Estes Park to Brighton. It starts southward at US 36 in Estes Park, then turns east in the middle of the Roosevelt National Forest. At Lyons, CO 7 meets US 36 again and goes through Boulder, then travels east to Lafayette. It's concurrent with US 287 for just one mile. After crossing I-25, it continues east as 160th Avenue and ends at I-76 in Brighton. This road is known locally as North 107th Street.
