For the easier drive with more stops available take US160 to I25, if you want scenic take CO112 out of Del Norte to US285. 285 is about 50 miles shorter, but you'll eat that much time or more with all of the small towns, grades, and curves.

The famous “wolf creek pass”

Empty trailer favors the scenic route. Possible wildfire detours and holiday traffic favor the more truck friendly route (to 25).
If you're going today I'd take the scenic route if Google agrees with your truck routing. Google for live traffic and construction accuracy, I mean. -
I forgot that regular people have a holiday coming up.RockinChair and 86scotty Thank this.

It's not a real holiday lol...I'd go across 160 and up 25.Deere hunter Thanks this.

Anyone with a Mon appointment. CALL CUSTOMER TODAY to confirm they are open on Mon. Just because you are dispatched for Mon delivery, it doesn't men the customer is open, and no, you should NOT assume some responsible adult at the customer or your company has already confirmed the customer is open on Mon.snowlauncher, Speedy356, 1Cowboyrich and 3 others Thank this.

I wish. But instead I gotta get back to Denver to hike Mt. Blue Sky 14er with a friend on Sunday...so I wanna high-tail it 345 miles with 7.5hrs left on the 11hr clock. If not then I do a 10hr break on the way back and get into Denver by noon Saturday.86scotty, SoulScream84 and Big Road Skateboard Thank this.
