Beautiful part of the country. You'll have no issues if you take it easy and enjoy the scenery along the way. Stop at Sipapu and look around, stay if you can for a while. I did my "Forestry internship" there on the Carson National Forest and stayed at the Sipapu Lodge for several months. I love it there and I'm sure others will too. The roads were good but windy and you must be careful. Grades are not bad. Condition of the roads is generally good. Be safe.
