Driving Yellowstone

Can we drive thru Yellowstone from Cody to West Yellowstone or Jackson?
We have a 40ft with a toad.
Any info will be appreciated.

  • Yes! Great scenery and a moderate challenge...therefore fun!
  • It will be a easy drive with your motorhome. We've done it a few times with our 40'. The only issue is the slowness of it because of the crowds and animals. If you can plan to leave from Cody or Jackson very early morning it will be a pleasant experience and you'll probably see animals that those latecomers won't. Rather than staying in Jackson, stay in Grand Teton Nat'l Park for the best experience. Colter Bay RV has hookups and if dry camping is o.k. then Colter Bay campground (next door to the RV park) or our favorite, Gros Ventre campground are the places to stay.
  • not a problem ,done several time in a 40 footer with a toad just don't plan on making very good time as one bison walking down the road or or one bear scratching his behind will stop traffic for miles

    Sure I wouldn't miss it, anytime you can be in or drive through has to be a Great Day.

    Just don't think you are on the Interstate:S


    BOL,
  • Yes but it won't be a fun drive. Quite a few hairpin turns and grades. We came in east entrance and stayed at Fishing Bridge. 35' pulling a toad so as I said you can but it will be pretty slow in spots.
