Hwy 200 Great Falls to Missoula?
Can anyone tell me about this road. It would sure cut out a lot of miles. We have a Class C 30 footer

Semi's and RVs take it all the time.
The climb from Fort Shaw to the pass has some steep grades, and one curve near the summit that is reverse banked.
I often do not take that route from Great Falls due to the high traffic, but rather take I-15 to Helena, then US-12 across to Garrison then get on I-90. Time wise it is anything from a little longer (usually) to a little shorter (Fridays can be really bad). This is due to the number of grades you have to climb, on a two lane highway, with semi's and under-powered RVs going up the hills
US-12 is four lanes for much of the grade.
On 200 there are NO services from Fort Shaw to Lincoln.
I don't know how many (literally hundreds) of times I've taken either US-12 or 200 over that route
