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?

US 50 is good. Another option is to take US 50 to Salida, north on US 285 to US 24 to I-70. A longer route mileage-wise, but not much difference in time. And certainly no less scenic. The big plus is Tennessee Pass is a much easier (more gentle) grade than Monarch, esp. if you're going east to west.
