Highway guidance needed - awesome_bird - 07-07-2005 14:58
Hi everyone. We're in Moab Utah headed for the Seattle area. Getting
to I-15 we can go west on I-70 from Green River to Salina - or we can
take us-191 north from Green River, through Price and get to I-15 at
Spanish Fork.
The Western Mountain Directory shows three steep grade areas on I-70
from Green River to Salina. The directory does not show any difficult
stretches of US-191.
Does anyone have experience with either of these routes?
Have you taken your bird on this stretch of I-70?
Have you driven this stretch of US-191?
We look forward to hearing your stories and planning our trip
accordingly.

hi i spent 7 weeks out west this spring 191 is no problem, i headed to vail on
70 with no problem i can't image the grade going the other way steeper than
Vail pass or hooser pass which our bird did with no problem.
I would suggest on steep winding passes like hooser pass to unhook the tow
car for really narrow or steep roads but on 70 you should have no problem

-You guys are looking to go up 191 from Green River, Ut. I have
traveled that road many time in the past. It's a steady pull from
I-70(on 191) till you get to Price, then you will have to go over
Soldier Summit. Which is pretty steep, nothing a good Bird can't do
well. It's a long way down the north side of Soldier. Anyway, that is
the way to go, unless you just want to go the long way. Much closer
and not so many hard pulls like on I-70.

Howdy,
We traveled on I-70 from west to east about six weeks ago. Returning
from a week in Moab, and heading towards Bryce we encountered 10K
foot elevations (Ceder Breaks) and up to 14% grades without any
problem. I've been on both routes you inquired about, and suggest
you can take either one you wish. Just use the lower gears, set your
retarder to keep the rpm's down, and take it slow. You'll find Utah
as one of the best states to visit. Southern Utah is amazing, but a
little hot this time of year. Hope you have time to take in the
outstanding National and State parks available there.
Have fun!
