northwestern U.S. route
Hi Everyone! We're full-timing, and we made it from Ohio to California. However, in one section of California, we ended up on a road that was not recommended for vehicles more than 30 feet. My husb...

Are these your only stops, or just significant ones? There's quite a distance between them
Fort Stevens State Park, Oregon
This is the north end of the Oregon coast. US101 all the way north from California is fine. Not a fast drive, but not difficult in any way. Busy in the summer.
Alder Lake, Washington
At the SW corner of Mt Rainier Nat Park. I assume you've chosen it as a base to see the park. From Ft Stevens the easy route would be US30 the Longview, I5 north, US12 east a bit, and WA7 to Alder Lake.
I assume then you want to head east. You have to cross the Cascades in one way or other. Through the park via Paradise to 123 is fine in the tow vehicle, but might not be what you want with full RV. Easiest might be 7 back to US12, and US12 east to Yakima. Or north to WA18 and then I90 over the mountains.
Priest Lake, Idaho
I assume you want I90 to Spokane (or US12 to US395 to I90), then US2 north to Priest River, and then north. Nothing difficult in this way.
Glacier NP (followed by possible stops in Missoula or Great Falls)
US2 to Glacier - easy. There are lots of threads about the Yellowstone to Glacier drive (look for either end point in the title).
West Yellowstone
You have a mountain drive out of Yellowstone to Cody, but nothing difficult or scary.
Cody
I assume you then want US16 over the Big Horn Mtns. Lots of threads on this.
