Hello,
In a few weeks we will be travelling from Custer state park to Fishing bridge in Yellowstone.
We have a 35 foot travel trailer and we're unfamiliar with the area.
What is the suggested best route to get from Custer to Fishing bridge? We don't mind going a little bit out of our way if it's going to make it easier on the truck.
I've read a little and it looks like avoiding 14 through the Bighorn area is necessary.
Is it best to completely avoid the Bighorn area and instead head further south?
I've also read that some don't recommend going into the east entrance pulling a trailer at all, but I don't see how feasible that is.
Thanks for any suggestions.
A few years back we took a 34 foot 5th wheel from Custer to the west entrance of Yellowstone through the east entrance and via 16, 20, 14 with out any problems other than it's a long driving day and in some areas slow going due to steep grades. I had a diesel with an exhaust brake so the grades weren't an issue. Google maps calls it 8 hours from Custer to Fishing Bridge but I believe it's closer to 10 or 12.
If I had to do it again I would spend the night in or around Cody.
