Mike T Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Question for the Salt Lake Cicty and Aspen locals... what's the best route between the two during winter (SES to be specific) and how long of a drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 My guess based on driving from Gypsum to SLC many times and the resorts a couple of times would be about 7-7&1/2 hours heading north off I-90 at Green River Utah when driving from Aspen or heading South to green River by getiing off I-15 at Spanish Fork south of SLC when coming from SLC. I forget what the mostly 2 lane highway is called but it is faster than taking I-15 all the way to I-90 or the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 mike..not knowing any secrets or shortcuts I looked on google map and then remembered that when I lived in Steamboat we went to SLC to ride Brighton for a few days with some friends, and drove out the 40. It was an easy drive in march. Clear weather mostly so that could be a factor... can't be of much help...just been on that road before. not a bad one.

Mike T Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks for the replies. I was essentially wondering about the difference between 15->6->70 and 40->64->13->70. I figured no way 15 directly to 70 would be fastest. I enjoy driving on 2 lane roads as long as there are places to pass... my Outback XT is pretty darn good in that department. Also looking to find out how frequently the 2 lane roads are closed when 70 is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 40-64-139 into Fruita MIGHT be a better option as I think that's on the western slope of the mountains... again, not much help. just doin the bomber .02 thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
