Gunnison,CO - Moab Utah via 550

[caysea7254]

We want to go from Gunnison, Co to Moab via Hyw.550 to 62-145 to 90 -46 to 191. Will any of these roads be a problem with a 32 ft 5th wheel? We just like to take scenic route. Info appreciated. Thanks Tara

This also doesn't include tight turns, low overhangs, and weight/width issues.

Use the 'Mountain Directory for Truckers & RVers'.

OP: Your planned route is a very easy one. The biggest grade will be on 62 - 5% for 3 miles.

Enjoy your trip. It's very scenic.

I did that route last Sept it's not a bad drive at all several long climbs as far as some tight curves not really, I was towing a 34' 5er with utility trailer with our Yamaha Rhino on back total 64' length.(see profile) Enjoy very scenic.

Cannot speak for the 90/46 section but the 62/145 section is a good road with no significant grades. Google maps street view shows the 90/46 section as being rough pavement with no shoulders but nice scenery. 191 and 550 in those sections are good wide roads.
