No Name[1] is a census-designated place in Garfield County, Colorado, United States. The population as of the 2010 census was 123.[2] It is located east of Glenwood Springs, off Exit 119 of Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon. It is named for No Name Creek and No Name Canyon. The No Name Tunnel of I-70 is nearby. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[3]

The exit sign for No Name is visible in passing in the film Vanishing Point.

There are two exits along Interstate 70 in Colorado that are truly nameless: Exit 218 east of Loveland Pass, and Exit 354 west of Limon - in both these instances, advance signage is marked merely with an exit number and the distance to that exit.
