Crossing Rockies

Hi everyone,  It's our first yr w our 5th wheel. We are doing a cross country trip. RI eventually to Washington state.My concerns are visiting areas around Rockies. We will be traveling from the Black Hills to Moab Utah. Debating routes  to take. Mainly US 70 vs 80.  Don't mind longer rt if more rv friendly. All suggestions appreciated.

  • Download Google Earth (different from Google Maps), it's a free download for your laptop. 

    Once you enter a route, right click on the route and you get an option to "show elevation profile". At the bottom of the screen will show the elevation profile along with the grades. Using this, you can see how steep the road is and we've found it pretty accurate.
