If you have driven on I-70 west of Denver, you have been "baptised", so to speak, in mountain driving. You will be fine if your DH is a responsible and careful person, as I am sure he is. As my kids used to say: "chill".
You live in one of the most beautiful areas of the country. We lived in Grand Junction for a few years. Enjoy it.

Unless you go all the way to US101, you're going to have to travel down some twisty turny somewhat steep grades in order to get from the northern section of the country to the southern section. After Albuquerque you either come down I-17 out of Flagstaff to Phoenix and take I-10 across, or you have to take the Cajon Pass down into San Bernardino or the Grapevine. All three are about 20 miles of 6-7% downgrades...nothing like I-17...but they are still pretty steep and winding. Doable, just take your time.
You could simply take I-25 all the way down to Las Cruces, pick up I-10 there and cruise all the way into SoCal....Dennis

We are looking forward exploring a bit more of Colorado since we have the TT. Should be easier than having to find lodging and kennel the dog.
I didn't mean that you should stay in Colorado only. Just saying it is a great starting place to explore the west.
Safe travels.

Thanks Fred! Yes I agree the I70 route is one beautiful drive! But we have driven out that way to California and Las Vegas probably 5 times or more so we've seen it. I wouldn't mind seeing some different scenery but dh is still in that point A to point B mode and 160 mile difference is hard for him to get past. I told him when we bought this TT there would be no more regimented point A to point B travel because this will just take longer - so may as well enjoy some stuff along the way.
