Have a 38' MH flat towing a car. Looking for best route. Debating between I-25 to US160 or US285 to US160. Thanks for any info.

Edit:

IMHO your routes will get you there BUT - there is Sooooo much to see and do in Colorado to miss any is just not right - so Look over this option for a Beautiful and enjoyable drive, that takes you into the mountains and Beauty and Adventure you have come to the Mountains of Colorado to see. Just the Drive out Rt 6 along Clear Creek will enlighten you as to what you can just drive along and enjoy - then Buena Vista and the Collegiates - Independence Pass in the Toad - Quincy's in Leadville - Possibly Crested Butte and Lake City as you drive out then Ouray, the Alps of Colorado - to Silverton and the Million Dollar Highway. Just too much to see and do to miss all this.
JMHO.

Leave Golden on Rt 6 along Clear Creek - arrive Idaho Springs and I-70 - continue west on 70 to Rt 91 and Leadville - take Rt 24 south through Buena Vista and on to Salida/Poncha Springs and Rt 50 head west through Gunnison and on to Montrose. Head south on Rt 550 to Ouray continue on through Silverton to Durango.

That the route we have taken and would recommend - the Rt 550 might cause some concern, if that is the case opt out to Rt 145 catching Telluride And Rico and on to Durango.

There are a years worth of things to see and do all along the way - BUT - you just wanted direction to, so there you go enjoy - take lots of Pictures and let us know how you enjoyed the trip.

Best of Luck,
