Great Bill Thanks & for the link to the pictures.
I will look over what you have given me and yes more is good.
Have to admit the mountains make me a bit nervous. One trip, one week under the belt, Vancouver BC to Florence Oregon. More experience will lessen that nervousness I'm sure. Mountains in the car no problem!
Our intention is to set up camp within a 50 miles radius of car sightseeing then move on. Example, camp just outside Yellowstone & spend sometime driving into the park exploring.
Hiking is out now. Things like the West Coast Trail in younger years have blown hubby's knees. Have to stick to fairly smooth surfaces till the knee replacement.
Looks like you have lots of miles under your belt. What do you use to plan your routes?
Thanks for the help..

Heading out the end of May with 2-3 months of time to spend on the road.
The route was I-5 to Seattle,
The I-90 to 359 to 287 south into West entrance of Yellowstone.
Back up the 89 to the I-90 to Billings.
Then 212 & 85 to Rapid City.
Back up the 85 to Medora
The I-94 to 83 & 5 finally 281 into Manitoba.
Getting back home from there we know the highways & byways much better.
The sites to visit are Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, the Needles Hwy, Painted Canyon, Fort Abraham.
Any suggestions on routes, additional sights?

The roads look fine BUT...... with you time frame I think I would add a number of stops and possibly change some of the routes.
You do plan on seeing GTNP right - possibly Jackson - Wind River Canyon - Cody - Beartooth - Red Lodge - all around the Black Hills and Custer - I could go on and on but you are asking about the routes, IMHO they are fine.
BOL,
Would love to hear more if you have the time.
This is our first extended trip and first to that area. Using Google Earth with Streets & Trips to plan. Would love to know how others figure out their routes & if they can negotiate them. We are in a 32'gas Class A with a Ford Edge toad.
