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'm a bit confused how you live in Jackson and don't know about that pass? It's horrible. I've wrecked on it in '97 (due to black ice but thankfully the snow banks kept me on the hill).
My brother has wrecked on it with his dually. He has replaced 2 transmissions on 2 different trucks due to having to live in the valley but work in Jackson. My uncle had same thing happen to his trucks.
Every year, once in summer, once in winter, there was a serious wreck with deaths involved on that pass when I lived out there. The guardrails were limited so several people I know have rolled down the side. 1 broke his back but survived, another survived but the driver he was with didn't.
It's a serious hazard, hard on your vehicle and brakes. Avoid it. Easier to go through Yellowstone. The road construction will be over in a week, hopefully.
