Once you come down from the Vail Pass summit it's all gradual downhill beyond Vail. I've towed that route many times with different RVs including 2 fifth wheels and have enjoyed the drive and the boost in MPG. Just make sure I-70 thru Glenwood Canyon is not closed due to any flash flood debris from a heavy rain. Monsoon season should be over by then. Happy & safe travels.

I-70 through Glenwood Canyon is closed indefinitely due to major rockslide damage, both directions. Plan new route accordingly.

Ya i have been following the slides. Looking at going N on 9 out of Silverthorne up to 40 west, then over 40 to 13 South out of Craig back down to I-70 at Rifle. Anyone know this route?
