(Just looking a different road that is scenic) I would like to go to Grand Junction and take Hwy 50 down to Montrose and then east to Canon City. Is this a good, safe, road pulling a 32' 5th wheel?

It is an excellent road and driven daily by big rigs as well as conventional cars. Enjoy!

Your PSD will not have any trouble with either one. I have taken that road several times in 2 different DP Motorhomes pulling a toad. One was a Cummins 275hp and one was a Cummins 330hp. No problems with either, just a little slow up the mountain. 2003 HR Endeavor 38PST 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Picture in Profile TexasShadow • View posts Spring Branch, TX USA Senior Member Joined: 10/12/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 02/03/12 11:20am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator good road all the way, but do check the weather forecast and highway conditions for the day you plan to use it.

Includes Montrose, Gunnison and Monarch Pass cams. So at least you could see what the road conditions are like. Marilyn w/ Joe, 2000 Xplorer Class B van, usually pulling a Ranger bass boat.

But if you have a favorite RV park, please let me know. Thanks again.

No problems. Comming off of Monarch Eastbound is a LOOOOONG downgrade. Keep the speed under control and stay off of the brakes. Plenty of places to pull pver and take a short rest stop, Formerly posting as "littleblackdog" Martha, Allen, & Blackjack 2006 Chevy 3500 D/A LB SRW 2008 Titanium 30E35SA; EZ-Lube axles; wet bolts; spring hanger gussetts; BFG Commercial TAs "Real Trucks Do Not Have Sparkplugs" F-TROUP • View posts VISALIA, CALIF Senior Member Joined: 05/13/2007 View Profile Online Posted: 02/05/12 11:03am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator In Montrose we stay at the Cedar Creek RV park.
