Experience driving U.S. 24 in Colorado?
I'm looking for anyone with some experience of driving U.S. 24 in Colorado, namely Tennessee Pass. Wondering if it's a fairly good road or a glorified 'goat path.' Thanks

Tennessee Pass - Hwy 24 - from the 'Mountain Directory for Truckers and RVers'
Elevation 10,424' The summit is 8.5 mi west of Leadville. Eastbound descent toward Leadville is only 1.5 miles of 5-6%. Westbound descent starts with a 20 mph curve and 5-6% for 2 miles. The grade eases for about 1/2 mile and then goes back to 6% for almost 3 miles.
We've drive it both direction with our 40' motorhome with no issues but then, we enjoy mountain driving. :)
