Heading out of Jackson Hole towards I80 East, it appears there is only one viable route which is South on 189/191 into Rock Springs, WY. Google Maps (Earth view) indicates this route will transcend some mountains. I just wanted to check on the grade etc of this route before heading out. Your wisdom and experience is appreciated.
Not sure what you are after - the reason they call it Jackson Hole is BECAUSE it is surrounded by Mountains! There is an easy way out to I-80 if you follow the Snake River Rt 26/89 - easy gentle drive along the banks of the river till you hit Alpine then take Rt 89 South to Sage then taking Rt 36 to I-80. This is as easy a drive as possible.
Hope this is of some Help,
X2 did this last year....easy drive. This year we had a brain freeze and ended up going over Teton Pass towing 34' FW. Was very happy my DH was driving-10 % grade was a little out of my comfort zone.
