How is 550 from Delta to Durango for a 42' fifth wheel? Thanks to my most trusted source for road info. Betsy.

It can be done but it is not recommended. If you decide to try it make sure you watch the weather on the mountain. If the top is covered in clouds when you approach Ridgeway use US 62 at Ridgeway to go south. I have hit snow on Red Mountain in Aug when the valley was clear and 90. Check your tires, there is no shoulder for many long stretches of the way if you have a flat. If you are in a gas vehicle you will loose power as you gain altitude. Weekends are the worst time for heavy traffic over that route. Often it is bumper to bumper, particularly behind slow vehicles like yours will be.
It is a pretty drive but only your passenger should be watching the scenery.
BTW I lived up there for 13 years.
What he said- I took it this spring and it was the worst decision ever - its darn right scary - was in my 38ft MH pulling a jeep
