Yellowstone

[KHabie]

I am traveling to Yellowstone from St. Louis. Which is the better route 35 ft. Alante towing a jeep….70 to the 25 to the 90…..or 70 to 25 to 80 to the 15.
Trying to avoid hill climbs if I can without going too far around.
TIA

From Kansas City, we went north to Lincoln, NE, then west on I-80 to Ogallala, NE. From there we headed NW to through Scott's Bluff, NE to I-25 to Casper. Then west to Shoshonee, WY, north to Thermopolis then WY-120 to Cody, WY which is about 50 miles from the East Entrance.

It sounds more complicated than it is. You'll see when you map it out. It's all good roads, far more scenic and interesting than the Interstates (other than the stretch from Casper to Shoshonee) and no big hills/mountains to speak of.

While in NW Wyoming, make sure to set aside some time to drive the Beartooth Highway. It's incredible.

Yes, Boysen State Park/Shoshonee was cool going down heading towards Cody, make sure to stop and check out Bighorn River.

.... while you are driving the Beartooth, be sure to hit the Chief Joseph highway as well. We stayed n Cody....we rode the Gold Wing up to Red Lodge, MN, ran the Beartooth over to the NE entrance to Yellowstone/Lama Valley, then back to Cody via the Chief Joseph.

If youre worried about hills you don't want to do Beartooth Pass while towing. Do it as a side trip.
Where are you staying in the Park? That may influence the entrance you use.
