Advice- I-70 Eastbound through Colorado
Hi, I have a 35' Blue Bird with an 8.2L Detroit Diesel. He's a solid bus! I am traveling from Utah to St Louis and I am really torn on which way to go. I don't want to go I-80 as its long, windy, and cold. I don't want to go south to I-40 as it will add 5 hours and $100 to my trip. I REALLY want to go I-70 as it is quickest, shortest, and easy once you reach Denver. That all said, how tough is it making it from Utah to Denver. I have made the drive a million times in a car or van but I don't know what to think about the bus. Weather is not an issue, should be fine any way I go, I just need to know about Mountain Grades. I have taken my bus all up and down Cailfornia, even to Shelter Cove, across the Sierras on I-80 and 50, and from Los Angeles to Utah on I-15. Crossing the Sierras was my greatest feat, is I-70 much worse? Any input will be appreciated!
