road trip - Honda Pilot

Hello piloteers! time to use my pilot for a trek to the west coast. How is the drive from denver to sacramento/sf by december 25-27? Is it full of snow, impassable or would it be a nice scenic drive? Planning to pass through Salt Lake City and Reno. just in time for a new year's blast in las vegas. this is with my 2003 pilot exlres with 145,000 miles.

let me rephrase it. do I need to bring tire chains? Is it predominantly foggy if not snow that time of year? thanks!

I would bring chains just to be on the safe side. It's been a relatively dry winter so far in California, but you never know what Mother Nature can do.

thanks! I asked because I read that they will not let you pass in some parts unless you have chains in some conditions.

Yup, you read correctly!
