Don't forget Roosevelt NP in Medora, ND. Route 2 works but don't let your gas gauge get down too far. As I remember there is a stretch of 100 miles with no services; warned ahead of time.
I drove US 2 to Glacier, lived along US 2 for most of my life in North Dakota.
Sure, there are rural stretches, but if you cannot find fuel along US 2, then you're NOT looking for it at all.
Good grief, going east from Glacier, you can fuel up in East Glacier, Browning, Cut Bank, Shelby, Havre, Malta, Glasgow, Wolf Point, Culbertson. Then hit the North Dakota side and there's Williston, Ray, Tioga Junction, Stanley, Berthhold, and into Minot in the middle of the state.
And NONE of these places are more than the 100 mile mark apart, mostly less than that figure.
Just have a little geographic awareness of where the next town is gonna be and plan your stops depending on your fuel gauge.
Not aware of how US 2 on Montana side is with any recent information. US 2 in North Dakota is four lane all the way across the state, and half-way through Minnesota too!
Fact is, once hitting North Dakota, you can stay on four lane all the way to Iowa. Follow US 2 to Grand Forks, hit I-29 and go south.
