Get a copy of the Mountains Directory West, it became my go to book for mountain travel.  Tip.....if it says the road has  curves 35mph or less , it means you will be using your brakes a lot!
Used to own a 1968 MCI 5A and a 1977 5C.

Just be careful going thru this tunnel in that park. It is a bit tight but you can make it.  8)
