Tomorrow, we will start driving from Carson City, NV, to Denver in our 30-ft motorhome with tow car. Our planned route is I-80 to Salt Lake City, then I-15 to I-70. Looking at the map, we see a shortcut using US Hwy 50 from I-15 to I-70. The map says it's 30 miles (vs more than 100 on the interstates). But is that stretch of Hwy 50 from Scopio to Salina OK for motorhomes? We would appreciate any comments. It will be our first time on I-70 west of Denver. From Denver we will continue to our home in Oklahoma.
Either Highway works but the last time I was on Rt50 across Nevada we had a couple of water bags on the front to keep the engine cool, anyone else remember those days? So as Executive says "lonely"
I would stay on I-80 just for peace of mind and save time by coming out of SLC on Rt 40 Through Craig and Steamboat, giving you the option of RMNP or Rt 9 or 40 down to I-70.
Another option out of SLC is 191/6 toward Moab, lots of options just need to know what your interest is getting from "A" to "B" or would you like to see some of Colorado, or Utah?
BOL,
