Cody Wy straight to West Yellowstone
I know this has been asked before.
But I’m going to ask it again, can I drive my 43 ft DP pulling my Liberty straight from Cody, WY thru 14 to West Yellowstone?
Any issues with grades, or tight curves?
I know there will be traffic.
Thanks in Advance!

No other way I'd go. 
Only issue is animals and Traffic - but pretty sure you came to see the Animals and enjoy the Drive.
IMHO, that's really the only way to GO!
Enjoy the Drive,

There are grades and curves but no issues for a big rig! You'll have Sylvan Pass. The summit is 8559' and Fishing Bridge in the park is 7740' so the descent westbound from the summit is only an 800' drop spread over 12 miles. There are some 5-6% grades and sharp curves but most is rolling hills.

Everything said above; but it's really a great ride. The speed limit is low so you can enjoy the sights and animals as you drive.

I've done it in the opposite direction, towing a 5th wheel in the snow. Going down a snow covered Sylvan Pass was not fun.A few hours after we left, the east entrance up Sylvan Pass was closed for half a day, while the got the plows out.
You should have no problem, so long as it isn't snowing.

Be aware the road in Yellowstone will be a bit narrow, but not nearly as narrow as it is on the northern loop section.
