Ouray To Moab
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...

There's a grade and shelf where CO145 climbs out of a river canyon

You've been in the river bottom since Placerville. Here is climbs up to a plateau area around Norwood. It's relatively flat to Bedrock and Paradox.
There's another bit of grade and shelf where CO90 climbs out of the Paradox Valley (headed toward Utah)
