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 an idea as to how the road is? We drive a 2014 Winnebago Sightseer 35G and tow a Pontiac Vibe on a dolly.

Thanks.....

  • Living in Colorado, I tow that route several times per year.

    October 20th will likely be past most of the aspen colors, but you still will hit a little bit of it. October in Colorado is one of my favorite months.
  • Take your time and I70 is an easy drive. Road was good when I crossed in August.
  • I-70 is a good road, some steep climbs in some of the stretches across Utah, but nothing impossible. October you could hit snow. I know that time of the year when deer season starts I have hit snow at times and other times it has been clear. Drive up to I-15 and head towards Vegas. Again you could hit snow anywhere up Beaver, Utah. Roads on I-15 are generally good.
  • The I-70 is a pretty good road to use. Slight grade going up heading west. On the west side it becomes down slope. Not really an issue, unless you are not use to it.

    I used I-70 in a pick up and it started to snow pretty good. So, I slowed down, because I did not know the road. Well, the truckers were passing me like I was standing still.
  • We were on I-15 and portions of I-70 last month. I thought it was just fine. We came back home on I-40 and it was in much worse condition.
