NJ to Yellowstone

We're driving from New Jersey to Yellowstone with stops at Badlands, Mt.Rushmore, Cody, and then into Yellowstone. From Yellowstone we will continue to Grand Teton, on our way back home we'll stop by Indiana Dunes.

This is our (family of four) first long trip in our 2009 Winnebago View. Google map is suggesting 80w to 90w from NJ to Mount Rushmore and then US 16w to Yellowstone. Going home would be 80e.

Any suggestions on which routes to take and where else we should stop on our way back home.

Not sure of your time table but think about coming out of the Tetons into Flaming Gorge and then Down to Dino NM just beautiful! This will also give you a little peak into the next trip to Colorado - if you have a few extra days we can give you a great and rewarding route to drive and see a lot before you head home.

This would allow a drive back on I-70 and Rt 36 to give you a change of scenery going home.

Just a Thought,

In your new View the driving will be easy with nothing you can't handle.

Best of Luck,

We stopped for a couple of days at a National Forest CG in the Big Horn Mountains last Summer on our way out of Yellowstone and then took a half day side trip to the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Very informative and the Rangers talks brought out many facts about the Custer expedition that the history books never mention. Also Devils Tower was nearby

We went out through ND and returned via SD last year. We really enjoyed ND esp Teddy Roosevelt Nat'l park. This is a great trip, have fun. From 80 you'd take 90/94 up through WI/MN and could stop at Wisconsin Dells. Lots to see. Lots of campgrounds out here. You can stop for the night at most rest stops out west. Originally from the East (NY,NJ).

Cody is great,rec Absoroka RV park on edge of town less crowded. Allow a day for the trip from Cody to the East gate.
