We have used route 14 over the Bighorn mountains three times, all in the eastbound direction. Most recently was in July 2016. We like this route for the scenery. It is a lot of uphill and later a lot of downhill, but we have been on worse roads. We did use second gear going up as well as down the steeper sections. We're in the Class C in my signature, so no opinion on towing this road. Once the climb is complete the road passes for many miles through high meadows and forest. Just beautiful up there and some nice Forest Service campgrounds plus boondocking.
Last year we decided to drive route 14A west from Burgess Junction to see the Medicine Wheel. The section we drove did not include the steep switchbacks that are further west, so no problem.
If you want a feel of what it would be like to drive this road, you can use Google Street View.
Google Earth view of the few sharp curves on the west side of route 14 going up. If you go, a stop at the Shell Creek Rest stop at the right side of the picture is well worth it. Nice waterfall there.
