SOOOOOOOOOO how do I get to West Yellowstone from the north on I90 without construction??? At exit 274 west of Three Forks take US 287 south to West YELL. :) :)
Summer = construction...... Travel Safely
If you want to avoid that construction area you can use hwy 287 in the next valley to the West. If you have been West bound on I-I90, get on 191 in Bozeman and just continue West on Mt 64 at 4 corners where 191 turns South. Mt 64 will meet 287, head South on 287. 287 will take you thru Ennis to Quake Lake and back to 191 just North of West Yellowstone Mt.
We use this route in the winter when the weather is bad, the 287 valley tends to be a little drier in the winter. You can also turn South just before Quake lake and take 87 south towards Island Park Idaho then take hwy 20 east about 10 miles to West Yellowstone.
