I 80 EB through WY closed?

Yeah, true. 70 from I-15 to US-6 is a fuel sucker also. 60k- gross and I'd run 70.

 

US 287 I think goes to Raton, Old Raton to be precise out of Texas. I think it merges with I-25 roughly more or less.

I'll have to check maps on that, I used to a awful lot of Fort Worth Denver along that road roughly. Towns like Kit Carson etc comes to mind.

 

Can you say KANSAS !?
Don't why anyone would run Wyoming or Colorado from Oct to May ..must like drama !

 

US 87goes to Raton.

 

Dallas to childress to the far panhandle of OK, up thru the east side of Colorado (Lamar, Kit Carson, Limon). Meets up with I-70 at Limon, then you get into Denver. It's an easy flat path from Dallas to Denver. lot of truck traffic.

It actually goes thru Denver and then due north a little west of I-25, but it's all city streets really at this point). Then you can take it from Ft Collins to Laramie (instead of going I-25 to Cheyenne and then west to Laramie, 20 miles shorter on 287, easier pull IMO).

It slowly works its way up to yellowstone. (figure from Rawlins to Yellowstone, a diagonal line). then works its way up to Helena Montana.

 

US 287 doesn't go through Dallas. It goes through Ft. Worth. It originates near Beaumont Texas. It is called us287 because it is the second Highway that branched off of US 87 it follows US 87 parallel most of the time.

 

287 is, IMHO, the best route from Fort Worth to Denver, at least now. I've heard that it has improved greatly in the last few years.

It comes out on I-70 near Limon, CO, and that's as far as I've gone on it. But I know it continues northwest and intersects I80 in Wyoming somewhere in the east side of central Wyoming.

I have no idea what the route between those points is like though.

 

Agreed, but the slopes are generally long flat hills between Fort Worth and Limon. There aren't many places where even underpowered company trucks with heavy loads will have to gear down.

 

The OP is in Las Vegas, NV. Get out of here with your TX garbage!!!!111!11
Ask Sgt. Hartman about what comes from TX!
