Colorado I-70
We're looking to drive from Denver across Colorado on Interstate 70 into Utah and onto Las Vegas. Would most likely be traveling around Oct 20th. Hopefully the snow will hold off. Can anyone give me...

Just came back going west over I-70 with a 36' DP towing a 4,500lb toad. Some very long and steep grades in Utah (I didn't go as far East as Colorado. Many grades peak at 7,500 to 8,000'. I have a CAT 3126E (330 HP & 820 ft. lbs. of torque) with a turbo and it was breathing hard at 7,500'++. Take the downgrades slow and don't ride your brakes. My Pac Brake was superb, as usual and only had to tap the service brakes occasionally. I took the longest/steepest grades at 40/45mph. The truckers weren't doing any better. Enjoy your trip.
