Might think about taking RT 9 south out of Kremmling to Silverthorne - unless you are into Great Mountain Passes - Berthoud - this will get you on a leisurely drive along the River to The Lake and I-70 - Map to Silverthorne - BUT If you Love passes Berthoud is a great drive and when you get to the top you will be able to cool off :)

Couple other notes - State Parks along the Route - Yampa - Steamboat Lake - StageCoach - all are enjoyable as is Grand Lake the town.

Hope this Helps,

With very rare exceptions, we never drive at night. Our 6 and 9 year old grandchildren always travel with us, so we plan stops at RV parks with pools and stop early enough to let them burn off energy swimming.

My route guidance has me taking Rt9 as you suggested.

Thanks everyone!
