Greetings:

  

 I am starting to plan a trip from Ohio to Tacoma,  Washington this summer in an RV6A.  I know there have been quite few RVers  out there who have made the voyage from East of the Rocky Mountains to Vans in  Oregon.  I was hoping some of you who have made that trip might send me  your flight plan or path of travel over the Rockies. 

  

 Thanks in advance

Weather will dictate the actual safe route but,,,, If you generally follow I-80 west, once across Wyoming you hit the Utah/Wyoming/Idaho junction. From there draw a straight line to Vans. IMHO. 

do not archive

Or just go direct Billings MT direct Spokane direct for lower mountains, 

likely less turbulence. Either route works, just your preference for 

scenery and what the weather throws at you.

Dave,

 I have flown to Vans several times from Wisconsin  where I live.  If you use Boseman Mt. or a little north of there, as your  course line, you can make most of the trip (at) 10,000 ft or less.  If you can  borrow a oxygen  system, it is a good safety item to have in case you have  to go higher for short periods  for weather etc.

 Note:  I experienced hypoxia on one of my  first triips west.  I did not have and oxygen system and I was foolishly  flying above 10,000 for a fairly long period..  I realized it when I  attempted to perform routine  course corrections and had difficulty doing  it----- 

 Good Luck.
