Can anyone tell me if there are any problems taking a 39' MH/TOAD and a 36' fiver on CO Highway 141 from near Naturita to near Cortez?

Shouldn't be problems for those rigs. Beautiful scenery, good roads (at least last time I was over it) and much less stressful than taking 550 over Red Mountain, Molas and Coal Bank passes. Welcome to Colorado!

Just did Lizard head pass last weekend with our 32 ft. fiver - beautiful drive with no problem whatsoever.

On 141 you'll go up 2000' from Slick Rock to a few miles north of Egnar...I've forgotten the name of this grade, but it's a little twisty and definitely uphill. It'll be slow, but not very long, maybe 5 miles. There are (or were)at both the bottom and the top, large signs advising the possibility of cattle on the road...this is open range and apparently this little stretch of road is a main cattle thoroughfare. We saw none, however. I'm presuming the MH/toad and fiver are not in tandem.

The fiver will be following the MH, not attached to it, although that would be an interesting sight!

Yes, it would. I might add that I don't recall seeing more that a couple of cars on this entire drive, so it's my kind of road. That was in May of this year.
