Would like to hear comments on this road. AAA maps has me taking this route instead of my usual I-25 through Denver down to Albuquerque. Wondering about the condition - my wife hates when I travel on rough roads.
Thanks.

Haven't done it recently, but I've driven the Brush to I-70 segment of this route on CO 71 and it was not a problem, don't recall it being particularly rough. Just straight and boring. Haven't gone south on CO 71 from I-70
