Hello everyone,We are planning our trip to Yellowstone and Tetons in July of 2014. We will be coming from the Bad Lands in SD, heading to Tetons, Yellowstone then off to Glacier NP in Montana.We are thinking after leaving SD heading to Colton Bay in the Tetons then head to Yellowstone where we will be staying in Grizzly RV park. Can we drive our 45 foot moho towing a toad through the south gate of Yellowstone and get to Grizzly RV park on the west side of YS? Or would it be better to head through Idaho and go north to Grizzly?We have not made reservations yet so we can alter our plans if need be.Thank you for your input,Stuart & Leslie

I've driven my motorhome the opposite way through Yellowstone going from West Yellowstone to Jackson Hole. You should be ok.

S-n-LI do not see a problem with driving your coach through the park. There are no tight turns. With that said there are no shoulders to pull off on and if you decide to stop some of the overlooks will be tight. The roads are wide enough that it will not stress you out but one cannot let it drift off the side of the road. If you are going out the west gate you must be heading to the west side of Glacier. It would be somewhat longer but I would head out the east gate and spend a night in Cody. From there you can take your toad on an easy days drive on the Beartooth Parkway. It is a must see and might be some of the prettiest scenery that you will see on your trip. If you choose to you could come in that way from South Dakota. You will enjoy Colteer Bay. The restaurant and grocery store there are pretty nice.

Actually going north from West Yellowston on US287 to US89 north of Great Falls will take you to US2 at Browning which is east of Glacier. Unless things have changed it should be good two lane all the way.

I am not as long as you but we have taken that route from Colter Bay to Grizzly a couple of times with no problems. I don't see a problem with your size, just watch out for animals, we have had to wait for bison to cross the road on a couple of occasions. You will love Yellowstone and the Tetons.

I agree with others that you will have no issues with the route through the Park from Colter Bay to West Yellowstone.Just as a heads up, a few miles after the South entrance the road follows along the edge of the Lewis River Canyon for a mile or two. Going northbound, your passenger will be looking down over the edge, which could be disconcerting to a person who has a fear of heights. No saying this to discourage you, just passing along so you will know what to expect when you get there.
