Route without high passes

Comments on route from Rawlings, WY to Jackson, WY via 191 and 189.

Coming from the west on I80, I would take route 191/189 north from Rock Springs. Just rolling hills most of the way with the Wind River mountains in the distance on the right. There is a downgrade for a few miles coming in to Hoback Junction.

Coming from the east on I80, I would take route 287/26 over the Togwotee pass. The pass is an easy climb and descent with great scenery.

No switchbacks or drop offs on the side of the road on either route.

Take a look at the Mountain Directory West (there is also one for the east). Look at the routes you are considering and the directory shows and describes grades on that route. Then you can pick a route you like.

From I-80 take 191 at Rock Springs to Hoback Junction and north into Jackson.

If you want to bypass Jackson and enter Grand Teton Nat'l Park from Rawlins you could do that by taking 287 toward Dubois.

Neither route has any high passes - good for RVers.

Thanks, that what I was hoping.
Rock Springs is what I mention to put, but I was thinking and typing at the same time.
My wife can't handle the high passes and I can't handle slow down, slow down.
