Flattest route to Denver
I'm about to pull met travel trailer from Fort Worth to Denver. I've made this trip in a car or truck a few times, but never with a big load. There are some spots that are pretty steep climbs once you...

Jack,
You can look at Flattest Route and see how much more driving is recommended that way.

^^^^ This. What he said.
If you input Fort Worth and Denver as your start/end points, it shows the route up to Raton Pass and up I-25. If you input Fort Worth and Limon, CO as your start/end points, it shows the route up via US 287. Graphically, it may look steep. In reality it is not. Remember, you're starting at a low elevation in Texas (around 700 feet in Fort Worth), to around 5300 feet in Denver. It's all gradual. There's nothing overly steep, despite the graphical representation.
