You would be better off to stay on the Interstates, I don't recall any steep overhangs on them. 2001 Trade Winds 7390 Toad 03 Grand Am Bumpyroad • View posts Virginia Senior Member Joined: 12/01/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/01/09 02:28pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator most any interstate highway will fill your needs. I prefer taking the toad on the back roads myself. bumpy bubbabod • View posts Beautiful Carlsbad, California Senior Member Joined: 04/27/2001 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 09/01/09 03:10pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I-10 from Arizona all the way across has no real mountains to speak of. Yeah, there's climbing and downhill sections, but nothing where she'll be overlooking down cliffs like in the Rockies or other places.Once you get east of Austin, there's no mountains at all. Same for the drive up from Austin to Oklahoma. The worst mountains you'll face will probably be just getting out of Washington and Oregon if you follow the coastline.

Suggest you get a copy of Mountain Directory West, www.mountaindirectory.com, that lists the steep roads in 11 western states. Also, stay off any road that is listed as `scenic'!

No more mountains, just hills. 06 HR Ambassador 38PDQ 04 Liberty Aces • View posts Washington New Member Joined: 07/04/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 09/02/09 06:20pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I am currently making a similar trip. Left Seattle area on I90, moved to I82, than I84, to I15 and am currently traveling on I40 to Texas. Nothing exciting just some up and down hills but nothing scary on the Interstates. Biggest problem was Salt Lake City road construction and big rig accidents wasted 2.5 hours. Had a great stop in Prosser, Wa (wine country). I don't think you will have a problem.
