That said, if you don't want grades, don't go over the Bighorns to Cody, but go around. You could take 90 to Laurel MT, then south on a combination of US & state routes to Cody from there; nice easy drive and pleasant scenery. (US 212 to US310, MT 72 to WY 120) You will encounter some grades & winding road from Cody to YNP, but nothing extreme. The driver just has to forego ogling the scenery. :)
I'm in Hardin, MT tonight and will take your advice: take 90 to Laurel and then South to Cody. I'll be in Cody 4 days before going on to Fishing Bridge for 5 nites and then to Colter Bay for 4 nites before going further West.
I've heard so much about the road to Red Lodge and the sites and scenery. Is it worth a day trip from Cody to Red Lodge without the trailer? At what point do I stop and turn back to Cody?
Thanks in advance.
