Thanks everyone for the Tips . We do have the Blue ridge mountains here in Virginia although at the 2000 to 3500 ft level and very drivable in most places. Just didn't know what to expect out west when it comes to Gas coach brakes on the long hills . We'll do fine ...
Not only will you do fine - but likely will have the time of your life.
I'm a long time East Coast guy who has made many trips to and from the Rockies over the years, biggest issue for me while out West, is not the Up and Down, (I love to drive in the Mountains) but the fact that home is still only in Maryland, and I always have to leave.
Don't be shy, ask and research every stop you make, as there are just so many "Secrets" that are just amazing as you travel. From something as simple as Clear Creek CampGround in Golden, CO to Maroon Bells just outside Aspen.
Twenty -Five years ago when we started to Dig Into Colorado - we discovered something New on every trip and every Road - and when we returned we discovered even more, we continue this adventure every time we go out West and are always just Amazed at what (How Much) we have missed.
So the "Best Advice" I can give is to just do everything in your power to get MORE TIME as you will never see, touch, experience even a portion of what is out there, and IMHO your setup will be Great (Might just need to avoid Winter - Extreme Cold) and will get you to some of the Best of America.
JMHO, Best of Luck,
