My guess is, regarding the stretch from Ouray to Durango, over 3 passes in quick succession. There's been slide work on US 550 south of Ouray; even without that work, that's a dangerous road to take, not for the faint of heart! With those rigs, I'd give serious thought to taking that route. An alternative, and less stressful route, would be to take CO 62 from Ridgway to CO 145, and then take that south past Tellurde and on over Lizard Head Pass and on down into Dolores and Cortez, then back to Durango on US 160. Very good point! Looks I need a little correction.378Views0likes0CommentsRe: Route to Yellowstone

We are headed to Yellowstone very soon. We are going to Arches NP, Craters of the Moon NP, Yellowstone NP & last Dinosaur National Monument. Attached is the link to the route I have planed. I think it is doable. My main concern is are we taking routes that we really should avoid since we are pulling fivers? Thoughts or comments on it? RouteMap Rig info: 2 Ford Powerstroke both pulling fivers, Keystone Laredos both 29ft & just under 10k lbs trailer weight.2.1KViews0likes11Comments
