Louisiana to Seattle, WA in March
Headed to Seattle in March and am concerned about towing the RV through a lot of snow. Anyone made this trip? Any advice would so much be appreciated. Not sure if we should go up through CO or head up...

Don't know if you're a white knuckle driver or not but the way, regardless of the time of year with a one grade only, and that's going down,for me would also be the least driving miles...I've done it many times for a customer in Anacortes, Wa. from Houston.
Firstly the any time of the year response: People get freaked out about weather. I'm always more concerned with fog than snow, with high winds being a close second. When ever confronted with weather you feel uncomfortable with get of the road, it almost never lasts that long.
The route: Exit 246/247 I-45 take US 287 to Limon Co...Then I-70 to Denver/I-25 north...I-80 west to I-84 Utah to Portland. The only grade you'll encounter is
Cabbage just east of Pendleton...if conditions are extremely cold 84 along the
Colombia river can be a issue...it's all flat driving but can and will ice over. Although march isn't a high risk in march it would be a good idea to stop at the Pilot off 84 in Pendleton and get a report. As for Cabbage you can stop in Baker City and get info on the hill.
