Montana - I93 - Glacier NP

How is Montana's I93 in July for RV travel, RV sites & scenic opportunities? I am planning a 2015 RV Journey that will bring me down from Canada on I93, through Montana in July 2015 reaching Virginia & Nevada City Montana about August 1st. I am avoiding 6%+ grades and plan to base camp my 5er RV along I93 and then do day trips into local parks and attractions. Please advise on obstacles & opportunities. Also, if there is a better route than I93. Thank You!

    You didn't ask about Canada, but you do need to be aware that Canada allows steeper grades all routes then the US does (I've seen 18% grades in BC and 12% in both BC and Alberta). Getting to "93" in Alberta will violate your 6% guideline

    Cannot find 193 but last week I came from Jasper and used 93 to get to West Glacier. There are some moderate climbs out of Alberta into BC and after Radium Springs nothing to worry about. 93 south to I-80 is a good US highway.
