First:
We’re traveling to Yellowstone in September of 2023 and will be staying at Fishing Bridge RV Park. We got our reservations on the first available day this past September. We’ll be at Devils Tower at one point and then an overnight in Ten Sleep, WY. I want to take the least mountainous route there is and it looks like US-16 out of Ten Sleep, south on US-20 to Thermopolis then north on WY-120 up to US-14 west through Cody and into the park’s east entrance.
I’ve read that north out of Ten Sleep to US-14 west is much more mountainous. For those of you that are familiar with the trip, what are your thoughts on my route choice?
Second:
My 5er’s tires will be a few months shy of three years old when we begin our trip. I’m wondering if I should replace them beforehand. Opinions?
That routes fine, no mountain passes or hairy schitt. 3 year old tires are fine. The rest of the garble about driving the bear tooth and whatever…..whatever.
Why would an experienced RVer be asking these questions is the question?
Pro tip. If you look at a map. Most any topographical road map either paper or phone or online, you can SEE mountain passes. It’s such a cool thing I learned in like 1980 when I was 8 years old and looked at a AAA roadmap of a western state for the first time. You should try it.
And also check your abilities before pulling the land yacht. These are questions and responses that indicate some lack of skill or ability is present.
