My suggestion is to do a loop without the RV of the Beartooth Highway and the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. Cooke City, Red Lodge or Cody are potential starting points. The loop of WY-296, US-212, MT-308, and MT-72/WY-120 is about 180 miles. Cooke City and Red Lodge are interesting small towns and Cody has the Buffalo Bill Center, Old Trail Town and the nightly rodeo.
There are several nice NF campgrounds on Rock Creek just below the switchbacks on the Red Lodge side. We camped at one and took the toad over the pass. Had Lunch in Cooke City. Took the Chief Joseph scenic byway over to WY120 to MT72. At MT308 cut over to Red Lodge then south on Hiway 212 to the campground. There is a not bad gravel/dirt road that follows Rock Creek up the valley that a Subaru Forester/Outback could handle OK.
