Route from I-80 to I-70

Question

We are currently planning our vacation route and we would like to drive west through Wyoming to Creston, WY and then head south on WY 789, which then turns into CO 13 when you cross over the border into Colorado. We would then end up at I-70 at Rifle, CO.
Just was wondering if anyone knew anything about these roads, if there are any travel issues (such as low bridges or steep mountain passes) that we should be aware of. We have looked at the route via google maps and so far nothing shouts out to us not to do these roads but thought I would put the question out there for my fellow RVers and see if anyone has some personal experience on these roads.

Thanks for any input you have.

I'm pretty sure that is the route my GPS took me last winter.  It was a very nice drive with no issues that I can recall (I was towing a small trailer on that trip).  The only problem I had was when I got to I70 there was a big construction delay...that one should be gone by now.

Drove that route in the Summer of 2012. Nice road. Nothing to be concerned about.

Drove that way last fall with a 38foot motor home towing a ford 150. Nice ride no problems  lots of antelope drive slower and enjoy the scenery
