Planning a trip from Chicago to southwest

If you're wondering if your rig will be able to tackle the rockies, the answer is yes. While you might not be the fastest rig on the road, your set up will easily handle any of the roads and hills. The only caveat being the Million Dollar Hwy between Durango and Ourey is not for the faint of heart. We've done it with no problems but there are lots of switchbacks and no guard rails. This can be unnerving to drivers not accustomed to heights and such.

The other caveat I would offer is make reservations early. There are thousands of visitors to each of those places every year. Reservations are a must and make them as early as possible. With fuel prices remaining low, there will be loads of tourists this year....Enjoy the trip, friendly people and beautiful spectacular scenery.....Dennis
