Roads in SE Utah & SW Colorado

[milot]

Does anyone have RV driving experience on Utah Hwy 6 going south from Provo to Price, then Hwy 191 south from Price to Mexican Water, Arizona? Any unusual "grades of concern" along this route?

Also... any experience with Hwy 491, which meets 191 in Monticello, Utah, and heads SE into Colorado, down thru Mesa Verde NP? We're in a 30' Class A gas RV with a Saturn Vue tow car. We are new to a western trip, and want to avoid any "mountain surprises"

Thanks for any input!

I have been on the section of 191 south of Moab, UT to Mexican Water many times. From Moab to Mexican Water is up and down from 4000 to 7200ft. 191 from the Bluff intersection to 160 is very rough much of the way. If you have time I suggest taking 163 through Monument Valley to 160. It's rough too but the view is worth it.
