I70 west out of Denver
Give me some input on I70 west out of Denver. I'm towing a 5 ton 5th wheel with a Ford diesel.

Just a thought - we always jump off I-70 at Rt 58 (exit 265?) then take Colorado Rt 6 through the mountains and the tunnels to Exit 244 just before Idaho Springs on I-70, a beautiful drive, we love the tunnels and they are plenty big. Another added bonus is the fact that you miss the long BUSY drive to Idaho Springs on 70.
Once you get comfortable with the Mountains(the down hill part is the only thing that is a real concern) you will find that most of the roads are really well built.BOL,
I do not recommend that route due to the large amount of traffic going to and returning from the casinos in Central City/Blackhawk. There are almost weekly accidents with long delays. Yes, it is pretty but the traffic has ruined it.
