Once west of Evanston, though, there are two ways down in to Utah - Staying on I-80 down in to SLC, or branching off on I-84 which comes down just south of Ogden. Both of them have some really fun whoop-de-do's going downhill. Great in nice weather, could be more adventure than you plan for in snow or ice. I-80 is literally flat from the Quad Cities to Evanston, as far as I'm concerned. The ONLY real grade up or down is right around Laramie, and it's nothing at all. Your bigger problem will be the crosswinds coming down off the North Pole. They about blew us into Colorado a couple of times. :)
Rea/Mark,
How is US80 as far inclines etc?
