Driving Route 13 Colorado north to Wyoming

[jude2136]

Interested in opinion of route 13 in Colorado that connects Rifle Colorado to Baggs Wyoming onto Rte 80 via 789. All opinions wanted.
We are looking to get out of Grand Junction going east. Trying to limit the elevation/heat to the best of our ability as we are finding our GMC 2500 Sierra does not like the combination while pulling our 31' 5th wheel.

Just arrived in montrose co. We went the route you described. No problems at all. Driving a 43ft Motorhome towing a jeep.
