Your route is none of my business, but I have been all 3+ ways many times and it really depends on the weather. And Then there is the wind that seems to blow all the time through there. Immigrant Canyon is a bit of a climb and then you have the Twin Sisters on I80. I have seen more fatalities on that bit of road between Evanston and Rock Springs than anywhere else except in front of my own farm. True that route avoids the double hump of Vail Pass and Eisenhower tunnel (and Floyd Hill to boot), but sometimes it is just as easy to come across to Albuquerque and then head up I25 to Denver. About all you have to climb that route is Raton Pass. (Or sneek up through Taos to Ft. Garland and come over La Veta pass to I25.) I would probably roll the dice on the route decision just before heading out the door considering the weather forecasts.
