Personally, I would take either 14 or 16 over the Bighorns. We have done 14 twice and 16 once, but only in the eastbound direction. Whatever you do don't take 14A down the west side of the Bighorns - 10% grades & sharp curves.
If you want to avoid mountain driving, consider taking I90 up to Laurel (just past Billings) then routes 212, 310, 72 and 120 down to Cody. This route takes you around the Bighorns and is pretty much flat. The Little Bighorn Battlefield (Custer's last stand) is adjacent to I90 just before Crow Agency in MT.
