Hwy 130 West out of Laramie

Looking to do the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (HWY 130) west out of Laramie. Final destination is Saratoga, WY. All my looking around the web shows no problem pulling a 5th wheel along this route. Anyone know anything else, or anything I need to be aware of? Doing this next week, so snow should not be an issue.

Thanks

No reason you can't as far as I know. Top elevation is about 10,900 feet with up to 6.5% grades. I am going from Laramie to Saratoga in about a month and am taking the interstate then down. Going to explore the road with truck only while staying in Laramie.

Did the western half last year it was a very windy mountain rd but was alright. We took the trailer out of Laramie on 80 then dropped down. Then a few days later drove up from the west side to the summit. The pine bark beatle has laid waste to the forest.

Nice Drive

Thanks for the input guys. Did the drive yesterday and except for some road construction it was indeed a beautiful easy drive. Not too long but enjoyable. Grade was easy for us to handle. Do not hesitate to take HWY 130 West out of Laramie to Saratoga.
