After some research in this wonderful forum I've decided to make my first post. I've narrowed it down to a couple of routes, however, I am open to suggestions. I am moving to Las Vegas from the Metro Detroit, MI area the first week of September. I will be driving a hummer H2 and am going to be pulling a 6' x 12' trailer loaded to the max. Three of my family members will be along for the ride who are all capable drivers.
My goal is to have fairly scenic route, but we are pressed for time (3-4 days). Also, my concern is the mountain driving with pulling such a heavy load.
My two routes are:
1) - Detroit to Chicago 94W
- 80W to 76W thru Denver
- 70W to 15S to Vegas
or
which seems like a much flatter route
2) - Detroit to Chicago 94W
- 55S to St. Louis
- 44W to Oklahoma City
- 40W to Route 93 to Vegas
All suggestions and insights are welcome! I definitely want a fun and safe trip for my family and I.
Thank you so much in advance!
