2016 Travels - Salt Lake City to Empire Colorado

[airforceret]

We pretty much have our route laid out for next year. From the locks at Sault St Marie Michigan, to Butte Montana, down to Salt Lake City and over to Reno is our outbound.

Coming back we plan to drop off I80 outside of Salt Lake City and take Hwy 40 all the way back to where it meets up with I70 at Empire, Colorado.

I know there are some switchbacks north of Empire, but other than that any suggestions or pitfalls to be aware of? We won't be towing doubles, just the Cougar at 33ft for this trip.

I know weather can be an issue even though we are traveling in early to mid June.

Thanks Roger
