Scenic byway south of Laramie WY
I have mentioned this in some threads and wanted to share a link:

If you are driving either direction on I-80 it's an easy off/on. Although only a 2-lane road, it is well maintained with frequent parking spots and reasonably wide shoulders. I've driven it in a 27' class C and an underpowered 34' DP and not had any difficulty. Very twisty-turny but it goes up and down so the engine never had to work hard for a long stretch and I never had to ride the brakes even without downshifting. And it is just incredibly gorgeous.
The western end is in Saratoga, where there is a free city hot-springs-fed pool that is REALLY hot. I got my 27' rig into the pool parking lot without difficulty but I have to admit I didn't try with the 34'.
If you are north or southbound on I-25, and have a few hours to spare, it's only 45 miles west on I-80 to the Laramie exit that takes you there. (But includes 5 miles of 5% grade.)
