There’s a reason there are wind farms in that valley and area.
I was on a driving trip there a few years back, end of March. Super windy. Not much shelter. I seem to recall noting grit and small rocks on the shoulders (just like spring in Calgary) so consider heavier tires instead of lightweight stuff. Also daylight appropriate front and rear flashers always on whilst riding and day-glow high viz items like helmet socks and gloves.
Lastly… look up heat maps for frequent road routes.
