Custer State Park to West Yellowstone
In July we will be travelling from Custer State Park (Mount Rushmore area) to West Yellowstone. We will be towing a small popup with a half ton truck so grades and mountain roads are generally no...

16 to moorcroft is fine. at buffalo you can choose 14 or 16..both are scenic.
if you take 14, find a campground near Burgess Junction and spend the night at least. Use the time to drive your truck up to the Medicine Wheel which is west of Burgess Junction several miles. If you like old indian stuff, this is a good one.
If you use 14 to descend toward Cody, stop at the Shell Creek rest stop..nice one.
If you use 14A, be prepared for a VERY steep grade of up to 14%...yes, I said 14%. :) It's a spectacular road, but only for those with good brakes.
And it will be hot in July, so do watch your brakes and transmission.
If you use 16, there are several campgrounds along it, too, with an rv park in Ten Sleep on the west side of town.
