Very true. Judging by the number of dead pronghorns lying next to the road, and the live ones standing next to it, they're not the brightest creatures. Definitely something to watch out for.

For starters, the battlefield is on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana - not Cody, Wyoming. Buffalo Bill lost the battle at Little Big Horn. Take Exit 510 off of I-90. The entrance to the battlefield is right there. To continue on to YNP, get back on I-90 to exit 298. Go south on US 191 directly into West Yellowstone, MT.

Jim, I think it was George Custer at the battle of Little Big Horn

You're right, of course. George died young at Little Big Horn. Buffalo Bill died old putting on wild west shows. :)

Thanks to all for your advise.

In terms of curves the only route into Yellowstone that should be of any concern is Beartooth Pass, US212 Billings to Red Lodge to the NE entrance. But even on that the curves aren't any tighter than a city corner or freeway cloverleaf. It's the long climb up, and not quite so long down the otherside that is main concern to most RVs.

But the gentlest grades would be I90 on to Billings and Livingston, and US89 to the park, or Belgrade and US191 to West Yellowstone.

Cody to the east entrance doesn't have tight curves, but has more of a climb than the north entrances. Many people coming from the east cross the Big Horn Mtns on US16, and continue to the park via Cody.
