I just did this on Microsoft Street and Trips, It goes to Denver and uses the I470 bypass, that is a toll road. It is expensive. I would come into town to I270 and go north to Ft.Collins by I25 then 287 to Laramie. I would plan to use I270 after 9 AM and before 3 PM.
You could do the west of Kearney Neb. to SLC or The 385 that Blackrook listed.
I live in Denver so I know I70 and the roads so no big problems for me. I would even consider taking I70 ( if you have not done this part of I70 before ) on thru the mountains to Green River and taking 6 up to SLC. Top off your tank at Green River.
I think all will work for you, just do what works for you. Just remember that gas can be a distance in the west.
So many roads to travel so little time.

I would just hit 70 to denver, 25 for Cheyenne and then 80 into SLC. This is is the way I go all the time between OK CO and UT.

SuicideSaints,
That is the way we are going, after spending 2 days in Joyland, Co. to check out Estes (sp?) Park....As I said at the start, we are flat land campers,so the mountains up/down worry us after what everyone says about them. We will just be taking our time up and down...
Jim
PS: SuicideSaints, where did you get that handle from?......

I would suggest you take I-84 at Echo Junction in Utah if you are going to HAFB. It is faster and you will avoid the steep grades in Parley's Canyon (Park City to SLC).

It's raining off and on here as well. Supposed to do that all week. At least our rainstorms in the west aren't anything like rainstorms in the mid-west.

Years ago (10 or so) I was part of an amateur sport bike racing team and that is was our team name, later we disbanded but I kept using the name.

It looks like the fog is there to stay, sorry. I just talked to my father, he was out here last weekend and drove back to Denver Monday morning, he said with the construction there is a lot of road damage, he said mainly rough with uneven surfaces. Be careful and have a safe trip!

Well, we spent two days in Loveland,Co.,bad weather, good time...Left and was going to go 25 to 80, accident on 25, so, we took 287, which addressed all my "fears" as a flat l and camper....On the way we we hit slush, hail, snow( all small in size) then fog at the top 10 foot visibility for what seemed like days......Construction at the top so, two lanes for some time.....But we made it.....Loving it here in Ogden, went to Bryce and Zion, beautiful.....Getting ready to go to Mt. Rushmore......by end of month..
Thanks again, Jim
