I am heading west towards Dinosaur Nat Park over Memorial week. I have an older class C RV and will be pulling a motorcycle behind.

Leadville is at 10,000' so you will be going Down from there. so where are you coming and how long do you have hard to give advice with little or no information.

Just no getting around it - unless you take I-25 north to I-80, and even then you will need to get through the mountains.
