Pulling 5th wheel through Yellowstone
I am visiting Yellowstone this month and wanted to know if pulling a 39 ft 5th wheel was OK on HWY 14/16 (on the East side) through the park up to Gardiner, rather than going around the North on I-90?...

I looked at the maps, and think the best is to do 212 and then I90 to Livingston, and down to Gardiner. Since we will be there for two weeks, I will then drive the truck around in the park or take the tram and not deal with the construction and/or steep areas while I am pulling the unit. I think it may also keep the wife from having a panic attack as well.
Thanks for all the good advise.
Would still like to get info on the Badlands and Grand canyon also. We are staying at Sleepy Hollow at Wall, and will definitely do the Wall Drug.
You probably already know this, but just before you get to the junction of route 212 and I90 you come to the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, an interesting stop.
Most folks do the Badlands as a drive through. There are hiking trails there but it gets very hot in the Summer and there is no shade. Make sure you have adequate water if you do hiking.
When you leave Grand Teton, go south out of Jackson to Alpine, then west to Idaho Falls to pick up I15. Don't take route 22 west out of Jackson - 10% grades and sharp curves over the Teton Pass.
