Yellowstone National Park
Grand Loop Rd, Yellowstn Ntl Pk, WY 82190
(307) 344-7311 | More Info

Coming out of PA on I-80 head down to Columbus from Akron (I-71) getting off I-80 toll road to I-70.

Next follow 70 to Indianapolis straight through to I-74 to Champaign out of Champaign on I-72 to Hannibal then Rt 36 across to Boulder/Denver Colorado this will put you back on I-70 eventually just outside Denver. Why all these different roads you ask – Less trucks – Less Traffic – More fun (did I mention you miss Chicago and have NO TOLLS).

If you had followed it this far you might think maybe yes maybe no – but trust me just a little more – as usual with big cities DO NOT travel in rush Hour! – on I-70 just after down town get off on exit 265 to Rt 58 follow this to Rt 6 into the mountains for a beautiful drive along Clear Creek all the way to Idaho Springs and I-70. Now follow I-70 through the tunnel to Rt 9 exit 204 Rt 9 follows the Blue River all the way up to Kremmling and Rt 40 and the Colorado River. Now follow Rt 40 to Vernal stopping to see the Dinosaur NM taking Rt 191 to/by Flaming Gorge to I-80 then on into some more Rt 191 into Jackson up through the Tetons and on up into Yellowstone.

Not only is this a fun drive but you will not get bored driving through the fly over states. Now if you have a little more time there are many –many stops along the way.

No that’s how I come into Yellowstone.
