Highway 285 between denver and buena vista colo
Has anyone traveled HWY285 between Denver and Buena Vista Colorado? Im traveling in a 34 motorhome with tow vehicle. Just wondering what kind of pull it is.

The rest of US 285 from Bailey to Trout Creek Pass is winding, hilly, and two lanes, with very few passing lanes, but several fast, nearly straight segments in South Park that allow passing.
. . . it is 4 lane and when the road is down to 2 lanes there are plenty of passing lanes. David
From Bailey to the east end of Kenosha Pass the road has few places to pass, especially to pass a 40-ft coach and toad. So you may back up a long line of cars behind you if you can't maintain the speed limit. That may not bother you, but it bothers a lot of Colorado drivers who then can't maintain the speed limit either. For that reason, the suggestion to avoid driving it on Friday is a very good one!
