At least the diesels have turbos. The fleet all had Jake brakes which help going down the other side. Some of the trucks from the east didn't. There's a reason for those escape ramps. It's pretty, though. In fact I-70 from Cove Fort UT to Denver is all very scenic. Scenic stops in east Colorado. The 108 miles from Salina UT to Green River UT over the San Rafael Swell is the longest stretch on interstate with no services. There are a couple of small rest areas but no water. If you want to star gaze, that's the place to be. Traffic drops off at night and there's no light pollution.
