Without adding to many extra miles to your trip the route I would take from KC would be North on I-29 to Hwy 2. Hwy 2 into Lincoln, NE and connect with I-80 and continue into Wyoming. From I-80 connect to I-25 north in Cheyenne, WY. Take I-25 to Casper, WY and connect with state hwy 20/26. In Shoshoni Hwy 26 breaks off from Hwy 20 so continue north on Hwys 20/789 to Thermopolis, WY. In Thermopolis connect with Hwy 120 and take that to Cody, WY. In Cody connect with Hwys 14/16 and take that into Yellowstone NP. The steepest grade you will encounter on this route will be the Sylvan Pass in Yellowstone NP which is 5 to 7% for about six miles.
You won’t have any issues getting diesel along the interstate highways. Once you leave the interstates in Wyoming diesel fuel is available in Thermopolis and Cody.
