Friends, any suggestions would be appreciated on travel routes on our trip to WY. Our plans are to come in on the SE side of the state via Route 80 and hit Cheyenne and Laramie.
From here we are completely open to and desire the senic routes - not overly concernced about making time but rather, making memories. We want to make our way to Jackson Hole, up the Tetons, to Yellow Stone, Bear Tooth Pass, Cody, and then shoot over to Custer SD.
So any routs to take, places to see, things to do as well would be appreicated. Thanks.

For your first leg, heading out of Laramie, take the Snowy Range Rd/WY 130 west to Centennial and then up and over Snowy Range Pass. Though it's a high pass at nearly 11000 feet, it's not overly difficult, and the views up top are definitely worth the trip. Several good hikes in the area there, if you like hiking. There's several USFS campgrounds along the way if that interests you, on both sides of the pass; more on the east side than the west side. The drop down the west side is also not difficult, and you could head in to Saratoga WY and spend some time at the hot springs there.
