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...

As you know, no one can predict the weather conditions...just keep checking the forecasts as you travel and hopefully you have some leeway in time that you could hunker down a day or two, if needed.
As you leave Denver you'll have the Eisenhower Tunnel area on I-70 and the elevation is 11,013'. You'll have approx. 8 miles of 5-7% grades with 2 escape ramps.
You'll also have Vail Pass at 10,503' you'll have 10+ miles up to 7% grade descent with 2 escape ramps.
You will be at very high elevations and snow/ice can happen. Be aware.
Personally, I'd drop down and take I-40 across. Where did you want to go in Utah?
