Highway 191 north to Flaming Gorge
I will be volunteering at Flaming Gorge NRA in Utah, but am hearing horror stories about driving HWY 191 north toward Dutch John. Can anyone give me information about that road? I drive a 35-foot ...

It is a great road, with a few turns not to far out of Vernal. We did it in both directins pulling a toad with no problem. Just take it easy and you will have no problem. There are quite a few trucks that use the road, and they will be going slow, so just relax and you will be fine.
The scenery is fantastic but you do have to be a little careful as you approach Dutch John. In that area it is "open range" which means there are NO fences. This means that cattle may be grazing right at the side of the road, and crossing the road. In addition, there are quite a few deer in the area, which will also wander out in to the road.
I think the highest altitude that you will hit is only around 8500 feet. The road itself is paved very well and is a beautiful drive. I had no problem with my 8.1L GM gasser with the Allison transmission.
Worst case scenario is that you can disconnect the toad and have someone follow your coach. I did not have to disconnect my toad, but if you do have trouble, that is always an option.
