A friend of mine was telling me that driving East on I-40 into Flagstaff is a long and steep drive. That I will be down to 35 mph at times. I was also told the same about Grants Pass in I-5 going into...

Because it's an interstate it's limited to 6%. I have driven that stretch many times. You should have no problems.
Speed really isn't all that important so sit back and enjoy the ride. You will still get to the top, just a couple of minutes behind others.
I agree with bluwtr49, and being an interstate, there are plenty of lanes to pull over and enjoy the ride/views, even if it slows these big rigs down.
I pull a loaded 40ft 5th wheel ToyBox, and just last month traveled I-5 thru the Siskiyou mountain range past Grants Pass into Roseburg Oregon. Even with some construction going on, it was no sweat. Have also pulled 1-40 into Flagstaff. No problem. The long pull is I-40 heading west of Needles Calif. Now that is one long pull. But plenty of lanes to accommodate all.
You wont have any problem.
