Getting from Anacortes to Mnt Rushmore in November.

Question

We are considering taking a different route from our home on Vancouver Island to our winter destination in Mexico this Fall.

One suggestion was to travel over to Mnt Rushmore then go South from there.

The route is pretty straight forward ,what should We be concerned about traveling in early November?

This is. Only one of Our options at this point!

You could get lucky, but it looks like freezing weather at night, and crossing the Rockies and even E Montana could be interesting if conditions turn bad.

I spent a year in the Black Hills in the 70's with wood heat and loved it, but winter can be impressive.

WA20, North Cascades Hwy, the route east from Anacortes tends to close due to avalanche danger mid November.  That means that US2 and I90 are likely to be getting snow that early, though they are plowed through out the winter.

Rushmore and lived in Rapid City. Winter can arrive in November in the midwest and the Rockies...you never know. Better to play it safe.
