Towing 5th Wheel Hayden, Co to Leadville, Co

We're planning an RV trip to fish in Yampa, Co and Leadville, Co from Montana. We have a 35' 5th Wheel towed by a Chevy Silverado 2500. We have a route mapped that includes Hayden, Co down to Leadville then North to Yampa Co and back through Hayden.

We're wondering about the safety of CO-91 South toward Copper Mtn / Leadville AND US Hwy 24 North from Leadville toward Yampa, Co. It appears there are some sharp switchbacks potentially steep grades. We are experienced, but cautious and would appreciate feedback.
  • Can be done, we traveled it with a 40' fifth wheel and Ram 3500. Take your time and enjoy.
