First time RVing and travelling from Toronto through the Appalachians and the plains back to Vancouver. Worried about driving through Colorado. Don't want to take an Interstate the whole way. Want to drive by way of Aspen or Rocky Mountain Park west towards Salt Lake. Are these roads really windy or can I tow my 27-foot trailer?
Quite frankly, you are right to be concerned - March is a windy month just about every where. Yesterday saw dangerously high winds on I80 outside Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Several things you can do - if you are pulling a travel trailer ensure you are using a weight distribution hitch with at least 1000 pound bars with built in anti-sway. If winds are predicted to be 30 mph or higher get off the road and find a sheltered place to park, preferably pointing into the wind. Sadly, other states are not as good about tracking and reporting winds as Wyoming.
However, a very useful app is WindAlert.
