West Glacia NP to NW Fl

Doing a big trip this year. Fl to our camp in Keene NY. From there to Custer SP 3 days and than over to Henry’s Lake SP for 7. Half hour to west entrance Yellowstone. From there up to west glacia RV park for 6 days.
Planned routes using RV trip wizzard. RV trip wizzard has me coming back on I90
to Sioux Falls and than down to Kansas City, Nashville than down I65
Looking at a different way and going I-90
to I-25 around Denver and down to 64 over to I-40 to I-22 than I-65.
Any recommendations on which route has better roads or nicer drive?
Only reservations made so far are at Custer SP, Henry’s Lake SP and West Glacia. NY to Custer and Glacia back to Fl
will book a few weeks in Adv only.
Tks
Rock

on the way out stay south and avoid Chicago at all costs.... don't use I90 through chicago... stay on the outside loops at a minimum


10-12 hours a day driving to get to SD in 3 days 1800miles/3=600 miles a day...you have to stop at wall drug though ;o)


on the way back once you leave the mountains you are going to drive across allot of nothing no matter the route... 25 is an okay drive.. the shorter route will be less painful

Glacier National Park (got to
Pay more attention to spell check). Just like Yellowstone has four sides Glacier has East and West.
We r visiting friends who live outside Chicago so will be staying a few days at a park outside of there. Was looking for a way back that is a more scenic route and better roads. Tired of things shaking apart on some highways. Like u said shorter might be less painful. Figure when I am done with my long summer will be about 8-9k miles.

I90=I80=I70 whichever one has the least amount of roadwork

Lot of options. We were at west glacier a couple years ago. We took highway 2 across to Minot and then dropped down to I-94.

Make one warning. Don't assume there is gas at the next intersection. Fuel stops are about every 150 miles. You know your getting closer to a town when you get cell coverage.

I like Theodore Roosevelt NP. We were going to stop at a Core of Engineering spot (highly recommended by a friend) on the lake between Minot?? and I-94.
