Pulling 5th wheel through Yellowstone
I am visiting Yellowstone this month and wanted to know if pulling a 39 ft 5th wheel was OK on HWY 14/16 (on the East side) through the park up to Gardiner, rather than going around the North on I-90?...

The fastest route from Rapid city to Yellowstone is take 212 from Belle Fourche to Garryowen and then pick up I-90. Going the route you are considering is more scenic, but you will have a climb over the Bighorn mountains and then another climb over Sylvan pass into Yellowstone Proper, then a pretty good descent from Mammoth into Gardiner. Taking I-90 to either Buffalo or Sheridan and then over the Bighorns into Cody and then into Gardiner is going to take 4 or 5 hours more than the route I mentioned.
