Best route
Need a little advice.. Leaving central California, heading to Dickinson, Nd. Trying to avoid climbing months if possible. Are the climbs through, SLC, and Wyoming Ok? Or should I add several hrs...

There is a grade on I80 from SLC to Evanston, WY. Is your plan to take I80 east to Cheyenne, then north? I'd be more concerned with cross winds west of Cheyenne. If you take I15 to Butte, Mt you will have some grades on I90.
Leaving SLC east on I80 I just take it slow. Use the right lane & flashers.
I know this thread is a couple of months old, but will give it a go anyway. We'll be leaving SLC tomorrow on I80 east for Evanston and beyond. I don't have a problem with grades but my tranny don't like them too steep and too long when pulling the Jeep, so could anyone tell me what % and how long this grade might be and also the 3 sisters further east? We did come over Donner's pass without a problem, but it's not all that bad from the western approach. Still don't know what grades we encountered on that one either and the internet as per say, isn't much help.
