I have always not recommended Trail Ridge for rv's, but if you have mountain driving experience I would say to do it with your rig.

Coming from Cheyenne you most likely will hit it midday and will have to put up with the gawkers and scared to deaths of midday and stupids. So it will be slow to the top - west side is more twists and turns which are tighter (some blind) but lighter traffic.

Be safe.

True - if you are able to do the drive early it is less crowded and makes for an easier drive.

JMHO,

Ok thanks, that's what I thought. We are going mid June so hopefully traffic will be the normal mess.

Boulder won't help. You have to go all the way to I-70 and take US-40 over Berthoud pass to Granby. Definitely shorter and quicker to go over Trail Ridge. Trail Ridge is supposed to open Memorial weekend. I have taken my rig over that route. Will be heavy traffic Memorial week if you are going then.
