I guess your starting point has a lot to do with the choice to tow or not. We have done this route from Cody area to Red Lodge several times in an Element and also a Jeep. Going to the Top (rest area) from the Cody side is not bad and there is some absolutely beautiful scenery and photo opportunities. When you start down from the rest area to Red Lodge, there are numerous switch backs that come quickly and you lose altitude about as quick. I would not do it in a MH of much size out of courtesy to others on the road and you WILL be crossing the centerline in order to make several of the switchbacks. By all means make the trip. We usually stay in Cody and head up to Red Lodge over the Chief Joseph and Bear Tooth. From Red Lodge back to Cody we take 308 thru Washoe and back south - good road, not mountainous at all and again, great scenery
