Besides, the M20 is an awesome travelin' machine for that trip.
Lightly loaded it should shoot over the Rockies at just about any
of the common crossing-points. If you wait for a nice day, and take
along some O2, you'll probably wonder what all the fuss was about.

Just leave yourself an 'out' and remember that if that mountain
is getting taller in the windscreen, you're gonna hit it! And
remember that on the lee side of the mountain there is a
down-draft to match the one on the windward side.

I flew an A36 across the Continental Divide around Granby, CO.
With three adults (one a mountain-flying CFI) and a lot of fuel
aboard, it was perfectly happy at around 14,000 and shot across
without even a by-your-leave.
