How comfortable are you driving mountain road towing?
Vernal to Fruita is about 130 miles going to Rangely and over Douglas Pass.
Typical mountain 2 lane road but only a few switchbacks...southbound is steepest decline and lots of truck traffic
The other route you mentioned.......Hwy 191/I-70....260 miles.
Easy drive......but almost 5 hours vs little over 2 hours.
I tow 34' 5vr but I always take back roads
