HWY 50 from Royal Gorge to Grand Junction Co
Am planning a trip from Royal Gorge to Zion National Park. I would like to avoid going up to Denver to catch I70. How is traveling on HWY50 between Royal Gorge and Grand Junction?

Monarch Pass is considered one of the most beautiful passes in Colorado, tops out ~11,300 feet. At the top, there's an aerial tram that goes to the top of Monarch Ridge at ~12,000 feet. Spectacular vistas from up top there, highly recommended for some real Colorado photo ops.
That's the major pass you'll encounter and is not a difficult one; 3 lanes on both sides/2 lanes climbing on each side. A bit twisty, but that's to be expected with any Colorado pass. Good roadway, no steep drop offs.
