Weather: I-80 Thru Utah or I-70 Thru Denver in early October

[Mark Sedenquist]

When we get to the intersection of I-15 and I-70, we would love to stay on 15 and catch 80 back east. But I am afraid that 80 may be a little rough through utah and wyoming that time of year weather wise. But then again 70 may not be much better through colorado.

Early October is just about perfect weather conditions for travel in the west. Cooler, yet still sunny days, it's hard to beat that combination. I-80 is flatter and generally preferred for larger and heavier vehicles, but if you are traveling in a passenger car, I-70 will save you several hours of travel. Plus, it is flat-out gorgeous -- here is a field report for the section of I-70 through eastern Utah!
