I emailed Derek when I had a problem logging in. He replied within 30 minutes & had fixed the problem. I'm now able to log in & sync across different devices. Awesome program & support Derek!! I'm loving the one-stop WX. Even better now that I can see the same info on my computer in the same...

That would be great

Thanks all for the great advice. Looks like I've got lots of work to do beforehand so I'm glad I asked early. LOL...Clark don't start picking on Nate for driving a Cessna. I've got lots of time in them too but mostly at low level. Think the highest I've been in a Cessna in the last 5 years or...

Thanks Alan. I'll look for Evanston.

Thanks for the suggestion Walt. The IFR route I planned was all on victor airways & avoided the restricted areas but I'll definitely look at the southern route too. I'm very familiar w/ operations in MOAs so that isn't a big deal to me but I'm not committed to any particular route.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll dive into the sectionals & am looking forward to the trip. Don't hesitate if you've got more advice/suggestions.

Clark...altitudes are you flying between FTG - DWX? Figure that I could skirt the west side of the Bravo to avoid getting vectored everywhere too. I imagine that they're much like controllers in the SFO Bravo...if you know what you're doing & call it right, you're good to go. If you step on toes...

Yeah...I would like to try avoiding the IFR route but would do it if necessary. That's why I'm here asking for suggestions. I kinda figured it would be like getting routed all over heck & highwater in the LA basin when you're IFR.

Thanks Murphey & Ben. Definitely something I'll check out instead of the long way around up in Wy. FL190 in a 172 David? Hmm...definitely not any of the 172's I've flown. I'd love to hear ATC on that one..."say type again??"

Piper Dakota PA28-236 - 235hp, IFR

Thanks SacArrow. My preferred plan is OGD-V6-CKW-V4-LAR-V575-NIWOT-KAPA. Highest MEA along that route is 13k, so I'm planning on either 13 or 15k. Might look into a southern route as well. Have you flown the northern route before?

Ok. Definitely will meet & exceed the 4 hrs of O2. Any other suggestions on routes?

My bride & I will be flying my Dakota from Sacramento to Colorado in September. 1st leg from Sacramento to Ogden, UT (461NM direct, 504NM IFR). 2nd leg from Ogden to Denver Centenial KAPA. 341NM direct, 412NM IFR) Anyone flown from Sacramento to Centennial or areas nearby? I'm looking for any...
