Having never traversed the Rockies at this latitude, have always taken the southern routes, what should I expect on a planned return home?
In December we will be going east via 10- and 40. But, returning to the west coast, am 'thinking' of coming back via 80.
My question is ... which way is the worse ... eastbound ... or westbound?
My tow vehicle is a 2002 Jeep v6 with aftermarket tow package installed; cooler, hitch ... but nothing on rear end ratio. TM is 2720sl.
Should I try and avoid the higher altitudes on 80 by going south and skirting around it ... or plunge ahead? Heretofore my 'package' has done pretty well with the grades around Bishop, California and the high sierra grades around Carson City, Nevada.
Thanks
Paul
