We've gone up and we've gone down...no biggie...they're simply the Rockies..:)
You'll be up pretty high in Denver but you'll go even higher until you get to the Eisenhower tunnel..(12,000 feet)...after that, it's all downhill.
I-70 is a good road, there are some turns but nothing big. Lots of beautiful kodak moments along that route so take your time and enjoy the trip. There's a pull out around Silverthorn that's a pretty sight and be sure to stop in Vail as you're passing by.....
BTW...driving in the Rockies on an Interstate is easy...the hype is overrated....Dennis
