Great Falls, MT to Gillette, WY

Looking for suggestions on nice routes for the end of this month. First thought is US 87 to US 191 to US12 - then should we take MT3 or go further east to pick up US 87 again. Third option would be to just stay on US 87 the entire way to Billings and then pick up the Interstate.

Anything you recommend we stop to see between these two locations? By the way, we will be coming from the east side of Glacier National Park, just stopping at Malmstrom AFB for one night.

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

    We usually us 87/200/3 to Eddies Corner,191/3 to Us-12 at Harlowton,12 to Lavina, 3 to Billings in both directions. At Billings us the truck bypass, a lot less steeper going down hill. We then pick up I-90. Been doing this way since 2004 with RV's.Even this pass Christmas eve without RV. Suggest you stop at the Little Big Horn Nat. Monument along I-90. If you are continuing on east after Gillette then there is Devils Tower north of interstate between Moorcroft and Sundance.

    US-87 to MT-3 then on to Billings is the usual route.

    After you leave Great Falls there is really nothing. In Great Falls... Giant Springs, Lewis and Clark center, CMR Museum, etc.
