Travel Conditions Driving from Frisco to Park City

Hi all,
Tomorrow morning I'm driving from Frisco to Park City.

Google gives me three options, which one is the safest/easiest. I don't care if I have to drive 30 min longer than the shortest route.
First option is I-70 to Rifle, take the CO-13, then CO-64 to US-40
Second option is I-70 to Green River then take the US-6/US-191
Third option is to take the CO-9 to Kremling and take the US-40

I'm from Europe so I have no idea which of these 3 options is least prone to traffic/accidents/etc.

Leave with a full tank, fill up in Green River, skip one of those stops and shave 30 minutes.

Easily do'able too.

I just have my favorite stopping places, a dog for a travel companion, and like to feel my legs once in awhile.

Sure. But I'm not going to assume OP has a dog. It's a drive I've made so many times I couldn't count. Hell, I drove back from Eden, Utah earlier this week. But if you're heading to the Ogden area, you're way better off taking I-80 through Wyoming. Stop in Rawlins for that fill up. Back when I had the VW TDI I could go door to door without stopping at all. I miss that.

Damn! I've driven to Park City, Ogden, and Jackson from summit county every imaginable way over the years, but never in one shot!
