What is the best way to go to Leadville/Buena Vista area from Ridgway State Park? We have a large dually pickup and will be towing a 34-ft fifth wheel. This is planned for July 2020. We prefer ease of towing, and would like to keep steep mountain passes, etc to a minimum. Thanks for any information you can give us.

Big :) here.

You are in the Heart of the Rockies - As will usually be the case any trip from Here to There will likely involve a Mountain or Two!

Suggested Route - with one pass - First time over this I just thought I had gone over a Mountain "Not a Pass" - Note here I love Driving in the Mountains.

Might be fun to Stop at Monarch Mountain Ski Resort to rest and stretch your legs - One more note - Wal*Mart is in Gunnison to Resupply - and http://quincystavern.com/ - is worth the stop for dinner.

Hope this helps, as the Alternative is Vail Pass and that's Big.

Best of Luck,
