How high are the elevations in Wyoming on 191 or is there a better way to go?
Once you are up by Grand Junction you are out of the high passes. We traveled up CO 13 east of Grand Junction this summer on a motorcycle trip and it is a fairly flat road in good condition. Take that up to I-80, head east a couple exits and take 287 north to 220 towards Casper, Wy. You will see plenty of pronghorn and prairie dogs along the way.
