Utah is on the far side of two mountain features most movers avoid talking about: the Eisenhower Tunnel, bored through the Continental Divide, and Glenwood Canyon, where I-70 squeezes between rock walls and the Colorado River for miles.
Weather Decides The Departure Time
Marcus doesn’t set a Salt Lake City pickup time the way he would for a flatland lane. A canyon rockslide or a tunnel slowdown from ice is enough to shift a plan, so this route gets a wider scheduling window than almost anything else Epic runs, especially from late fall through early spring.
- West on I-70, through the Eisenhower Tunnel and Glenwood Canyon
- Winter dates carry extra scheduling room built in ahead of time
- One Denver walkthrough sets the plan for the entire mountain crossing
- Tucker’s or Marcus’s team finishes the job personally in Salt Lake City

Mountains don’t change hands
The tunnel and the canyon are just terrain to Wade’s crew, not a reason to swap trucks. Call before booking to talk through a winter-friendly date.
