TGreen Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 On the way to Oshkosh, was thinking either KVEL or KGJT before crossing the Rockies. Would love to hear from anyone with relevant experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Go a bit further north and stop at KRWL. Cheap gas, courtesy car to go to lunch (1/2 mile), easiest place to cross the Rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjfanjet Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Easier to follow I-80 and stay north. If you go south, stop at MTJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 If you use GJT be aware of DA. The Grand Mesa is just east of there and in my 231 on a hot summer afternoon all I could manage was 200 fpm. Not enough to prevent some pretty weird vectors on climb out.
