Lifey, don't you mean US-20?
The Subaru Ascent is the largest Subaru vehicle. It's a 3 row SUV, officially considered a midsize. AWD is standard on all Subarus, there are other AWD's available in that size class.
AWD could be beneficial if you are going to be living in such an area, not just visiting it. The Sienna is the only minivan available with AWD, but most crossovers and SUV's have it available as an...
If you want a minivan, there is one outstanding choice with AWD - the Toyota Sienna. Go check them out. Toyota reliability has always been excellent.
Sounds to me like a mid-size SUV would probably suit your requirements best, unless you will be towing a trailer. Read this article for brief reviews of 16 of them:

If you are going to Duluth, I'd still take I-80 to I-35. If you are towing, staying on Interstates would be best even though you can save 180 miles by taking the fastest (in good weather) route.
Welcome to RTA!
Well, for a southern route you would have to go all the way down to I-40 or even I-10. You could even go north to I-90. Nothing is immune from winter weather, and you have to...
If you must drive, I'd recommend the following:
Cross the border at BC-11 Abbotsford/Sumas, take WA-9 and WA-542 to I-5.
Take I-5 to I-405 to I-90.
Stay on I-90 to Portage WI, then take WI-33 to...
I don't know about nicer and more scenic, but you can make the drive on mostly non-Interstates by adding a few hours.
Take I-25 north to Springer, get on US-56 east.
At Hugoton KS, take KS-51...
Leaving for STL from exactly where? Los Alamos? US-285 to I-40 to I-44 is actually the fastest. Can be done in 2 days with an overnight in OKC.
You are going to have to go over some high passes to go west from where you are, no matter what you do.
US-24 has a couple between Colorado Springs and Salida. Going west from Alamosa, Wolf Creek...

Traction Law
During winter storms, or when conditions require, CDOT will implement the Traction Law. During a Traction Law, all motorists are required to have EITHER:

There are plenty of hotels in Colorado Springs. No specific recommendations. If you have a laptop or tablet, load up Google Maps and focus on the Colorado Springs area, then hit the Hotels button. ...
Gunnison is a bit more than halfway, but from a scenery standpoint, that would be the best.
I also recommended previously the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, it's a national park. It's actually...
If you leave the winter coat home, I'd bring a warm sweater and flannel shirts in addition to a leather jacket. Bring a stocking cap and gloves. It can get quite cold and windy at higher...
Colorado Springs to Grand Junction via US-24/US-285/US-50 is 300 miles. This is about 6 hours with no stops. In between, there are hotel options in Gunnison and Delta.
It looks like it's coming together.
There are plenty of hotels in the Colorado Springs area and in Grand Junction.
Colorado Springs has the Garden of the Gods and the Air Force Academy. You...
The closest open lodging to the north rim is the lodge in Jacob Lake. Otherwise, look at Kanab or Page. It can get cold everywhere you are going this time of year.

If you decide to see the Utah parks, get off I-70 at Exit 214 in Utah and take UT-128 to Moab. See Arches and Canyonlands, then take US-191 back to I-70. Take that to Exit 149, take UT-24 to...
There's the "Big 5". Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. How many days *DO* you have to spare? This could easily take a whole week.
Green River is just before you enter the San Rafael Swell.
If you want to take US-50, this is how I'd do it, assuming you have time on your hands.
Take I-70 to Limon CO, then US-24 to Colorado...
If I-70 doesn't have weather issues, take it to Green River UT, then US-191 to US-6 to I-15.
875 miles, can be done in 2 days, suggest overnight in Beaver Creek (440 miles from Hays, 1 hotel,...
4 days if you leave the morning of the 28th and arrive the evening of the 1st.

I think ZeeBabar responded to the wrong thread, this person has a thread going on this in the winter section.
