We have driven US-191 a few times. It is mostly two lane. There are relatively steep climbs and descents around Flaming Gorge, a 9,000' pass between Price and Vernal and a steep Climb out of Vernal. Consult the Mountain Directory for details.
There is a lot to see and do along this route.

Monument Valley
UT-261 the Moki Dugway
Goosenecks State Park
Hovenweep National Monument
Natural Bridges National Monument
Bluff Fort
South Fork of Mule Canyon and House on Fire
The Valley of The Gods
Sand Island Petroglyphs
Edge of the Cedars State Park
Dinosaur Museum
Moab/Monticello area:
Kane Creek Road
Potash Lower Colorado Byway
Upper Colorado River UT-128 Scenic Byway
Sago Canyon
Dead Horse Point State Park
Arches National Park
Canyonlands National Park
Needles District
Newspaper Rock
Vernal Area:
Utah Field House State Park
Dinosaur National Monument
US-191 from I-80 (Rock Springs) is in my opinion a good route and takes you through the Tetons and in the South Entrance to Yellowstone if it will be open when you need to get there. There is a Walmart in Rock Springs where you can stock up if you need supplies.
