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?...

It travels mostly through Crow and Cheyenne Indian reservation lands. The section known as the Beartooth Highway runs between Cooke City Montana and Red Lodge Montana. That section of Highway 212 is further west than the section they are considering.
US 212 is Bear Tooth Pass. It is a top ten scenic route for motorcyclists and consists of 82 full turns and 19 switchbacks. Top of the pass is at 10947 feet. Weather conditions can be extreme, it was closed on 7/28/15 due to icy conditions. I rode it last year on my motorcyle at the end of June and there was still 2 feet of snow at the top. Not sure if I would take my 35 foot 5th wheel over it. You might want to Google Bear Tooth Highway. Enjoy Yellowstone, it is beautiful.
