Fishing Bridge CG to Madison CG in Yellowstone

I will be in Yellowstone in Sept. 34' Winnebago with toad. Entering park at east gate and going to Fishing Bridge CG. I will then move to Madison CG.

Problem is that the southern loop will be closed Sept 2 due to bridge replacement at Craig Pass so the road from the Thumb to Madison will be closed.

Any experienced travelers know the mileage from Fishing Bridge to Madison using a northern route thru Canyon Village, Norris to Madison?

How long for that trip and can I negotiate it in a 34' motorhome?

I will need to back track to exit the park out south gate.

Thanks
  • I can't tell you the mileage but I don't think it's much more than taking the southern loop around through Old Faithful.
    The road is as good as any inside the park.
  • Actually, taking the road up to Canyon Village and across the middle of the 8 is the way to go. It is flatter (no passes), straighter, easier and shorter (42 miles vs 54 miles).
