Yellowstone from Buffalo
Hi all,
We are 14 days into our 2 1/2 month cross country adventure. Have never gone over mountains in the west and will be traveling to Fishing Bridge RV park from Buffalo.
From what I can find, there are three routes to get to Yellowstone. One is off the table for us (too many switchbacks) which is via 14, north of Buffalo heading west.
So now I am trying to decide the best route, either 16 south heading west or taking I90 north to avoid the mountains altogether. I realize that 16 is a scenic route and if I were in a car not towing anything, that's how I would go. My only concern for this trip is avoiding scary moments, like stew climbs if I can avoid them.
Here's what we have: tow vehicle is Dodge Ram 1500 with six passengers, diesel V6; towing 31 ft. TT.
Would like to know from other RVers their experience on both routes:
1. Travel time for taking 16 and taking I90.
2. What to expect on 16 and if my TV can make it easily with our TT.
Thanks in advance for your quick responses.
Crystal
