Dispatch, or Google maps is a good choice. Choose Truck Routes.

I do have it. I see many uphills and downgrades. long 6%, 7% with 25-30 mph curves on a two lane road. And theres many options to get there. Need an advice what routes to take being fully loaded.

you can take 285 down to 160 and go west to 550 or you can take I25 south to 160 and go west to 550 but eitherway, you gotta go over wolfcreek pass. The only othe way is to go I70 to Grand Junction and go south but that is way out of the way and then you have Loveland and Vail pass to go over.
Anthony MD Thanks this. -
personally I generally take I25 so
Anthony MD Thanks this. -
just take I-25 and when you come over in to new mexico and you start going down hill you will have a port on you right tho if you are going over pretty late it might not be open good luck and it has been dry so you will be good
