Thanks for responding, please keep them coming.Big 5 National Parks in UtahPlanning a trip next spring to visit the National Parks in Utah for the first time. Will be pulling a 26' travel trailer with a diesel pickup. Will be starting at Arches and ending at Zion. Would like to know routes that would be relatively easy for pulling a travel trailer and proceeding from Arches to Capitol Reef to Bryce to Zion. Main concern would be tough switchbacks to maneuver a trailer. I am aware of State Highway 12 as a scenic route that is doable pulling a trailer. Not sure of other routes over the landscape other than travelling on Interstate 70. Also, any recommendations as to private campgrounds would be appreciated. Thanks!Proper Gear for Towing up HillsWe just purchased a 19ft travel trailer and traveled 500 miles to bring it home. We tow with a 5.3 liter Chevrolet Silverado that should easily tow this 3000 lb. trailer. This is the first trailer we have owned. My question-should I always leave the transmission in drive with the towing adjustment on or do I need to go to a lower gear when encountering a very steep incline?
