Highway guidance needed
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!
