Was planning on just going up to the interstate and back down but Google says to take the 145, 46, 191 route to save 50+ miles and a bunch of time. Welllll, Google may not be pulling 15K lbs of 5th...
Just go through Montrose to Grand Junction, then take I-70 to Crescent Junction and turn there onto 191. Very easy drive and has lots of beauty. No problems at all for pulling. Be sure to gas up in Grand Junction.
