I-70 W in Colorado
Towing a 30’ fifth wheel. We don’t like driving in big cities and avoid them when possible. Going west in June on I-70 out of KS---does anyone know of any problem with getting off 70 from near Limon...

What is going on in Glenwood Canyon? They are always having some issue there.
We are going to Stillwater Campground for a week-- north of Granby, CO. Will be hiking in RMNP around Grand Lake area. We were thinking didn’t want to tow over Berthoud Pass (Winter Park) so thought we’d go to Silverthorne and go N on Hwy 9 to Kremmling and east to Granby. (We won’t be staying at Dillon, but will be there on the return trip in September).
Going over Berthoud Pass would be shorter route I think. Has anyone towed that route (40 N) to Granby? We realize our plan involves going over Loveland Pass and it may be bit steeper than Berthoud plus seems they are always doing construction up there around Eisenhower Tunnel with delays. Both have 6% grade. How is the rest of the route going north from I-70 Exit 232 on Hwy 40 to Granby—is it real curvy or anything? So whaddayathink maybe we should just take that route? We will be spending the night in Seibert, CO just east of Limon then on to Granby.
BTW I printed up a great resource entitled “Mountain passes and highway summits traversed by improved roads”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mountain_passes_in_Colorado
