Because of the weather, sleet, snow, rain, we stayed on interstates. But later in the year with better weather you should be fine on alternate more scenic routes, not that this way was not scenic. The 360 degree views of the snow capped mountains were spectacular..... Remember, we are not used to the mountains, being from the other side of the "Big M" river.
