Rapid City SD to West Yellowstone

I had originally planned the route going through Gillete, Cody, and Bufallo, but now I'm rethinking it.

Taking 90 West through Montana and entering West Yellowstone from the North isn't much further, and I'd avoid heavy traffic through the park.

Either way, We're making a side trip to see Devil's Tower!

What say you? Which route is better?

  • In July 2014 we did this;

    Rapid City to see Mt. Rushmore.

    then on to...

    Buffalo, WY
    Livingston, MT
    Island Park, ID where we stayed while visiting Yellowstone entering from the West entrance.

    Safe travels,
  • I took 90 across and dropped down to the Yellowstone area from the North. was my first big trip in the class A.
