by passing Denver
I am leaving Nebraska heading to Albuquerque and want to by pass Denver in my motorhome with a toad. Looking at 71 to Limon and 24 to Colorado Springs. Has anyone used it? Is there any better...

In Colorado take 71 all the way south to Rocky Ford. It is a very nice 2 lane highway with little traffic. From south of Rocky Ford take Hwy 10 west to I25. Nice 2 lane again and no traffic. I grew up driving these roads.

^^^^^ This. Best way to beat all of the various traffic congestion areas. And they are NOT limited to Denver and the Springs. I-25 between those 2 points is not a pleasant drive; lucky to get up to 45MPH at times, and then those cars trying to do 80MPH when the opportunity presents. Settle in on the route presented above.
