I am curious about this also. We are going through KC to pick up some other teams stuff and going the southern route adds 2 hours to our trip. Are the mountains in really that bad?

Its not that they are bad. They are just constant. Honeatly, Utah is way harder than Colorado. Not necessarly hard to drive, unless you get stuck behind a slow moving vehicle and then you are stuck in tjat lane. Trust me. You will make up the 2 hours with the peddle to the metal.

Drive safe. I have a guy driving mine out, along with anoth teams trailer... they are taking the southern route.

Were planning on taking I-80 instead of going through Denver...go through Salt Lake City in route to Vegas. From what I have read that is a ok route. Its 250 miles more to go around to the south. Any opinions on that option????

I've heard there are some good mountains up around I-80, that was from a buddy that was at Jackson Hole last summer. The majority of the mountains (on I-70) are from the Colorado border to I-15 in Utah. There are still some climbs on I-15 but nothing like on I-70.

I think from me ot was a little under 2 hours longer going south. Well worth it for my buddy who is driving!!! ;)

See you there Joe.

We'll be leaving from Vegas to head to STL and weren't sure about the best route but I've been told it's better go through NM again (yuck). Don't suppose anybody come out for this event want to tow a smoker back to the Midwest for us?? We'll be happy to help with some of the gas associated with it and the liquid refreshments

The southern route is the least amount of hill climbs and could save as much as 10% on gas consumption. It is mostly flat. The hills out of denver tend to be interesting and the ones out of Salt Lake are just as good. I would usually go up thru NV to Twin Falls just to avoid the SLC area.

Have driven all of the routes multiple times on business both North South and in between. Would go OKC, NM, AZ even from Chicago. Just 2 cents worth.

They are only gradual climbs. There is a little pass right before Albuquerque, then you are at 6500'. It's well worth it Joe. Those climbs from Denver to I-15 are a beotch. Some white knuckle driving and some good grades. Fortunately I never smoked my brakes!!

Nothing posted yet. Sounds like it would happen sometime after Wednesday's deadline.
