help pl route grand canyon to seattle minimum hill climbing

Can someone please help me urgently. I came from Seattle to Grand Canyon driving a V6 Toyota Landcruiser pulling a trailer and had great difficulty climbing hills - overheating and very slowly. I came on I5, I84, I90 thru Salt Lake City, Boise and Yakima.

I need an alternate route back that takes me 4 days that will allow me the minimum hill climbing. Help is much appreciated.
  • 395 north, 31 from Lakeview to Lapine, 97 north to the Columbia river, I84 east back to 395 to I82 to I90. Or just take I5 north all the way.
  • I'd suggest going North up thru Oregon or Idaho to I-90 rather than I-5. You want to avoid the Siskiyous.
