You can also take I 25 S to Co Spg. then West on 24 through Woodland Park to 82 to I 70 and west. That would avoid steep grades except for the pull out of Co Spg to Woodland Park which is uphill and scenic also but lot's of out-of-the-way. For a flatlander it isn't all that bad a route as there are no steep overhangs on the right side and 24 is 4 lane the first 20 miles.
What? 82 is; NO WHERE near Woodland Park
and
Is between Leadville and Aspen - over Independence Pass - steep, narrow and high with rock overhangs and on the passenger side with steep drops - no guard rails on the drivers side and severe length restrictions for most RV's. Obviously you have never been on it or you would not recommend it!
