Lubbock TX to Boise ID Flattest Route

[RetAFRVnW8]

Hello all, I am officially retired from the Air Force and am trying to tow a 45' Park/Destination model travel trailer to Boise ID to attend school. I am asking for some help to choose the flattest route as the vehicles I am taking with me are being pushed a bit but, I don't have much choice. My wife was t-boned last week which totaled out our primary vehicle. Any help would be greatly appreciated! October 5th we celebrate 1yr as full timers! Thank you

Ain't no real easy way to do it other than get onto I-25 then up to Cheyenne Wy and I-80 west to SLC Ut and catch I-84 on up to Boise. There are still going to be some pulls up through there. You can avoid Raton Pass on I-25 by going up HWY 287 all the way from Lubbock to Denver. But with a rig that big it's kind of narrow in places.

Hwy 287 is a popular truck route out of Denver heading into the Texas panhandle area.

Thank you Blackrock! We didn't hear any opinions so I went west to Albuquerque, Farmington up through Moab, Salt Lake on up. There were a couple sketchy spots near and around Moab on 191/6 but all in all it was good. The scenery was worth the white knuckles! LOL

Glad you made it OK. That is some different country around Moab. Bet the white knuckles were going up and over Soldier Summit out of Price.

Was the white knuckle coming down into Moab valley and that curvy section?
(Soldier Summit? Driven that numerous times, even in blizzards, and never thought of white kuckles; only 7477 feet...oh well; not everyone thinks the same on summits.)

The white knuckles mostly came from towing a 46' long bumper pull not so much the topography, though the combination created a few exciting moments. We made it safe without incident, thank you all.
