Ft Collins to Laramie
is Hwy 287 from Ft. Collins to Laramie an easy tow with a 36 ft fifth wheel, or do we need to stay on Hwy 25 then Hwy 80? Thanks for the response, TFDCC

Hwy 287 along your planned route is an easy tow. There are some passing lanes to allow for slower vehicles.
What he said! You're going uphill, since Laramie is at a higher elevation, but it's gradual. There's plenty of passing/climbing lanes along the route. The "steepest" point will be in the area of the state line, where you'll be approaching the top of the Laramie Ridge, the highest point on the route. It's simply that, the highest point, not difficult at all, and once you get over it, you'll drop down to Tie Siding, WY where the road will flatten out all the way in to Laramie. This route is popular with RV'ers, either headed to Red Feather Lakes and points west, or headed up to the Snowy Range west of Laramie.
