Hwy 22 west out of Jackson to W. Yellowstone
We will be moving in a couple of days from Jackson, WY to W. Yellowstone, MT. My mileage guide says it is approx the same mileage going up thru the Grand Tetons + Yellowstone as it is taking Hwy 22/2...

I drove out 24 ft Class C over the Teton pass a few years back and will never do that again.
Be advised that a bridge is being rebuilt on the road between West Thumb and Old Faithful, closing the road until something like June 11th. To get to W. Yellowstone, you will need to drive around the east side of the lower loop to Canyon, then west to Norris, south the Madison, then on to W. Yellowstone. Of course, everyone else will have to use this route as well, making traffic heavier than normal.
IMO the best route from Jackson to W. Yellowstone under these conditions is to go south to Alpine Junction, take route 26 to Idaho Falls then north on route 20.
