Best route in August pulling a 38' fifth wheel.

Alternative to prior suggestions - US 40 to Steamboat, then south on CO 131 to I-70 at Wolcott. I-70 east to US 24, then south on US 24 through Leadville to Buena Vista, picking up US 285 to Salida then US 50 on to Canon City.

Only pass of any consequence is Tennessee Pass before you get to Leadville and it's not difficult, with just a couple of switchbacks, certainly not daunting.

Only Suggestion on this Route would be to take the time to spend the night at Stagecoach State Park just after Steamboat off RT 131 - Beautiful State Park right on the Lake.

Just a thought, Both Thom and 4runnerguy Know Colorado and the roads that work, Now you have a few options.

Best of Luck,
