Summer trip to Rapid City to Grand Canyon
We're driving a Ford F250 6lt Diesel and pulling a 35 ft. 5th wheel trailer. We're a young at heart older couple and this will be our first big trip. Planning a July & August trip from NC to Mount R...

Mannashine, US20 and I-15 to SLC is a fine road. We drive it all the time. :) Nice scenery west of Yellowstone down to Ashton, and again from Pocatello to the Salt Lake Valley. Expect traffic to pick up dramatically once you get to Ogden, Utah, as SLC is a major metro area. Do not feel you have to keep up with the 80 mph speed limit on 15! :) (We generally tow about 60 mph.)
Yes, John, it's definitely worth it. You can go all the way to Red Lodge but it makes for a long day if you go on from there to I-90 and back down thru Cody. Stop for lunch in Red Lodge & go back over Beartooth again into the park - that's what I'd do. (And have done in the past.) Thanks for the info on the US 310 construction. You just never know, year to year, about that out here.
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.
