We will be leaving the west entrance of yellowstone and heading to Grand Teton. Any routes to use or avoid?

Currently Google Maps gives bad advise. South on US20 (that's ok), but then over Teton Pass (33/22) to Jackson. That pass is not good for RVs - too steep and high. The correct way into Jackson is via 26 and US89 which mostly follows a river. But that's 230 miles to Colter Bay.
But change the departure time to Sept, and it routes us through the park, with only 87 miles. Estimated time is 2hr, to the expected speed is about 40 mph.
Currently most of the park roads are closed, hence the route difference.
There is a shorter outside route, 120 miles, but that takes a gravel Forest Service road through the 'gap' between Yellowstone and GT. It's a nice drive in a suitable vehicle.
