Hwy 212 from near Spearfish to Billings

We have never taken this route, but MapQuest suggests it. We just wonder if it would be better than going I-90. Will there be gas stations that easily accommodate our 31 ft. fifth wheel and truck?

    That's true, but a good, 2 lane road without much traffic. Nice scenery further west. Intersection with 90 is right at the Little Big Horn entrance. If you prefer 2 lanes to interstates this is a good alternative. Watch out for Pronghorns!
  • On our way back from Alaska we took this route with a 28 ft 5th and found it to be no problem at all. Remembered it to be a good road, but do not remember location of fuel stops. You should be able to fill up and I would think make it on one tank. Saved about 75 or so miles.
