Been a couple years since I been over 14 or 16. I think 16 comes into buffalo & 14/14a goes into Sheridan. I believe the south route 16 has less hairpin turns.

I believe 14 goes into Sheridan and 16 goes into Buffalo... I'm all for fewer hairpins in a 40' class A pulling a toad...

I've done 16 in two different gas coaches. One 38'. 454 motor--one 36' V-10 ford & one 36' 300 cummins DP. You will not have any problems.

That question has come up more than once on another forum that I visit. The consensus is Hwy 16 is the best route for RVers and Hwy 14/14A is tougher but more scenic.

Oakman my take is that either way is very scenic. I've been on both routes. Both scenic & both doable in an RV. just might depend on which town you wish to end up in.
Good map-- I didn't take that pic. Got it now.

I have done both with a ford v10 36' pulling toad 16 was easier on the brakes and engine. But 14 very doable.

We went across 14 or 14A can't remember. It was an adventure. I also talked to another camper who said that it was raining when he was going up the mountain. The car in front of him stopped for some reason. He stopped too, then couldn't get traction and was stuck. Fortunately a road maintence road grader came by, hooked a chain on, and pulled him to the top. He was pulling 5th wheel.

I'm in Story west between Sheridan and Buffalo. Came over southern pass and on 16. Easy nice trip. It has been raining a lot, with flood warnings, so I'd check weather bug if I were you!

I have read 14a is a challenge going up and if you make it up you get to test your brakes on the way down.

We're going in mid-August. After spending time in the Black Hills area, we're headed to Buffalo and then on to Cody. Last time I did the trip was in 1979, with a van and 21 ft travel trailer, things didn't go well.

Think I'll skip 14A.... I'll have more than enough of those "fun-filled" roads before our summer is over....
I believe it'll be 14 to connect with 16 into Buffalo....

This is my backyard. I would take 120 from Cody through Meeteetse then East on 431 (Gooseberry Highway) to 20 then North to Worland. Take 16 through Tensleep and over the pass to Buffalo. if you have a little time you can continue on 120 to Thermopolis which has great Hot Springs and a Dinosaur Museum then take 20 North to Worland. There are several Forrest Service campgrounds on 16 between Tensleep and Buffalo. Our favorite is Sitting Bull near Meadowlark Lake. You can reserve a site at Federal recreation, camping and tour reservation information - Recreation.gov.
