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.

Sorry, it is not 4 lane except between Denver and Conifer, with a another short section between Pine Junction and Bailey. The rest of US 285 from Bailey to Trout Creek Pass is winding, hilly, and two lanes, with very few passing lanes
I am sorry, I didn't explain myself completely. I meant that most of the climb out of Denver was 4 lane. I did not find that I slowed down on the uphill anywhere where there was not a passing lane, but I could be wrong.
And I agree, I would not drive anywhere from Denver on a Friday, especially in the afternoon.
And slowing other people down does bother me and I will let people pass as much as possible. In general, except during the steeper climbs, I keep up with the speed limit up to 65mph and often find other drivers in Colorado that slow me down.
