If you want more practice, try US Hwy 50 between Salida and Gunnison (Monarch Pass).
Monarch is harder than Wolf Creek, because it's narrower and a long climb. Wolf Creek is a shorter climb than La Veta from the east. About 8 miles total, most of which are four lanes. I find I-70 in either direction west of Denver to be a real slog. A very long climb, although with a climbing lane in addition to the travel lanes. In my experience, the descent from the high country back to Denver is grueling. You really need to check your speed and NOT with your brakes as much as possible. Many curves. More daunting than Wolf Creek.
