Douglas WY to Gillette WY on rte 59

[gator67]

Hope this is the right forum... it seemed most apt.


We're going north on I-25 to I-90E and it looks like we can take a shortcut on rte 59 between Douglas, WY and Gillette, WY. We're looking for recommendations or warnings about taking a motorhome over this route.

The road is Partial four lane and partial two lane. Traffic can be heavy at shift change along with lots of 18 wheelers. I would go the extra and stay on the interstate

we did it last year with no problems and pulling our pu. I think it saves just under a hour of time, if thats a factor, Good Luck

You can cut off even more miles by taking US 18 and SD 79 from south of Douglas to near Rapid City, SD

I have travelled this route in our motorhome pulling a toad ... there is about 15 miles of 2 lane road near Hot Springs that requires some attention ... but most of this route is cruising ...
