Uh, yep, I-70 between Denver and Moab contains some mountainous terrain. Highway crests about 11,000 feet a couple times. Some 6% grades. I see you are from the midwestern plains, so expect it to be an adventure. Make sure your brakes are in good shape, and be sure to downshift and use engine braking as much as possible. Pay attention to what the 18 wheelers do.
I've done that route, it is absolutely beautiful, you will love it. Don't forget to stop several places along the way to soak up the views.
Ditto good brakes and low gear don't be in a hurry there long steep hills to climb and go down
