Glacier NP to West Yellowstone

Doing some research for next year. We will be doing a trip up thru Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff. Coming home we would like to stop at St Mary's KOA in Glacier. What is the best route for a 40' MH towing from St Mary down to Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone. We will stop somewhere for one night on the way down. We only like to go 200 miles per travel day.

Thanks in advance,
Janet

    MT 464 to US 89 in Browning

    US 89 to US 287

    US 287 to I-15

    I-15 to US 287

    That would put you stopping somewhere around Helena. We've not used a campground near Helena, so I have no recommendations.

    US 89 is a good road except between Browning and St Mary )that is the reason for taking MT 464.)

  • pulsar is right on.

    We have stayed at Lincoln Road in Helena in the past and it is good place to overnight.
  • We did that exact trip from Calgary(home) several years ago. Stayed at St.Marys the first night and the as mentioned above go around the park to Browning. We went through Helena as it is not that far and then stayed the next night in Butte. Big old copper mine there to check out too if you have never seen a big open pit. From there to west Yellow stone the next day.
