Las Vegas to Monument Valley to Mesa Verde Dec-Jan
Any suggestions or recommendations from anyone that has driven this route in late December to early January? Typical road conditions, weather, places to stay with travel trailer. etc. Thanks

Never been to Colorado in the winter. In fact, never been through the desert is winter. I like the idea of boon-docking. I guess I better not let the wife watch "Hills have Eyes," before we go. I really want to be prepared for anything as this will be the first trip since the kids have left the nest.
Big state with a variety of Weather's.
CDOT
The Cdot will give you real time pictures as will Utah and Nevada.
Last Memorial Day we started in Boulder in Shorts and Hiked in a foot of snow only a hour later, and could not do Trail Ridge because it was closed with 10-15' of snow. (The kids swam in the Creek in Boulder at 3 that afternoon -
so............
If it is a heavy snow some roads will just close till it's cleared - so the weather in Key.
Last year the Snow came early/December and Late/March-May, leaving the middle of winter pretty mild, so just depends.
Watch the Weather - plan the trip - have alternate plans ready if needed.
JMHO,
