We prefer route 30 between Grand Island and Ogalalla NE for no trucks and no speeding cars whizzing by. A bit slower than I80, but much more relaxing. There are a number of points of interest to see when crossing Nebraska.
The Golden Spike Tower in North Platte.
Buffalo Bill Cody's home, also in North Platte.
From Ogalalla, we drive route 26 to join with I25 just west of Guernsey WY. Route 26 follows the North Platte River, which was the route of the Oregon Trail. If you go that way, you will pass Chimney Rock, Scotts Bluff, Fort Laramie, plus the wagon ruts and Register Cliff at Guernsey WY.
Take I25 to Casper and then route 20 to Shoshoni. Two choices from there. Continue north on route 20 to Thermopolis, then route 120 to Cody then on to the Yellowstone East Entrance. The second route would be to take route 26 to Riverton and then on over the Togwotee Pass to Grand Teton NP and then north to the Yellowstone South Entrance.
