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?

It is a great trip, if you are not in a hurry. Not that it is slow going, rather there is so much to stop and see along the way. We took four days to go from Canon City to Grand Junction, three overnight stops. The driving time directly through, with no stops, is something like five and a half hours.
Driving, there are long sections of grades up to Monarch Pass, which will probably not slow you much below the posted speed limits, but if you get caught behind a truck (much slower than a RV) you might find it difficult to accelerate back up to speed for the passing lane.
