Hi Paul,
I live in the Denver area and have done most of your route in two
pieces. I went to Kingman, AZ in May 2002 and to Harrisburg, PA in
June 2002. My routes we

To Walsenburg, CO then over LaVeta Pass toward Alamosa, CO. This is
one of the lower and easier passes through the Rockies. Alamosa is in
the San Luis Valley. Go south to the Taos VOR, then head west to
Farmington, NM, then parallel the south side of the Grand Canyon to
Kingman, AZ. There is one ridge that you have to pop over just before
going in to Kingman. I think another post tells how to get from
Kingman to Hayward.

NJ to Colorado. Climb to 4500 and head west. Once the sectionals
start to turn from green to tan, start climbing in 2000 ft steps. You
can pretty much go over LaVeta pass at 11000 and descend back down once
you get over the valley. Have a safe trip.
