Billings to Whitefish: via Great Falls vs via Butte

I am in Billings, MT, and I want to go to Whitefish, MT. I am towing a 25' TT. Which route would you suggest: Billings to Butte to Whitefish OR Billings to Great Falls to Whitefish? What are the pitfalls of the two routes. Of course, we want to see as much of Glacier NP as we can. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

    Definitely Butte. There is a lot of nothing between Billings and GF and GF and East Glacier.

    U have numerous options. I would usually take the Interstate to garrison; head east on us 12 to Avon; go north mt141 to us 200; go west to mt 83. 83 will end at us 93 just south of kalispell. Mt83 is a beautiful drive with many mountain lakes and forest service campgrounds. Scenic drive and probably the quickest. Enjoy.
