Best Alabama to West Yellowstne
Hey all. Curious on better rv routes to Yellowstone from here in Bama. Looking at I 70, or I 80 as the mains, or jumping up and picking up 90 and come down into west Yellowstone. Will be in 2002 37 ft...

If you are going to Yellowstone first, then the Tetons & then Grand Canyon, definitely take I-80 or I-90 out, and consider I-70 back - or I-40 if you want to avoid mountains as much as possible.
I-80 is the workhorse of the nation, lots of trucks, usually lots of repairs going on, but it has a lot of pioneer history along it, especially through Nebraska. If you're interested in that, it would be worth traveling on that route. I-90 goes by the Black Hills (Mt Rushmore, etc.) and a few other historic spots (Little Bighorn battlefield), and is the closest interstate to Yellowstone, with various routes to the park, via Cody (WY), Livingston or Bozeman. No big climbs on I-90 at all (until you get to the state of Washington). 80 has some moderate climbs, especially between Cheyenne & Laramie, and again going west into SLC. I-80 across Wyoming can be white-knuckle if the winds are really howling (which they often do, especially winter & spring.)
