We are planning a five-week trip to the southwest(New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado) this spring. We will be in North Wilkesboro, NC first and will head west from there at the end of April. We are looking for suggestions and advice on the best route west from there. We are assuming we should take I-40, but wonder what the easiest and quickest route would be to connect with it from N. Wilkesboro. Should we pick up I-77 South and connect to I-40. Or is 16 South to I-40 a good route for towing? Or maybe some other route? We are mainly interested in getting to the southwest, not sightseeing along the way. We are headed to Monument Valley, Utah Parks, San Juan Mountains, etc. and are towing a 34-foot fifth wheel. Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
Honestly if I were you. I'd do 18 to Lenoir, and on to Morganton on 18. You hit 40 in Morganton. And they are easy roads to tow on. We run 16 out of Hickory to Raccoone Holler all the time, and have ridden from Lenoir to Morganton. Not a bad ride.
