If you have time you may want to stop in Meeteetse for a little visit, especially if you like chocolate.

Looking for the best motorhome route from Sevierville, TN to Manchester, TN. I know 24 can be a bit difficult between Chattanooga and Monteagle. We have a 30ft. motorhome towing.

Easy Drive - but........

Don't stop there head on down through the Wind River Canyon to Shoshoni. .

https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4227...7i13312!8i6656

This drive has always been a favorite of mine - River flows Dead North through Wind River Canyon - Canyon slopes down on the drive North to South - So to me it has always felt like the River Flows Uphill!!!

Seriously - I drove it for the first time in the early 70's and would actually have dreams of this River Flowing Up-Hill - - - I could never place the location until I drove it again in 2007 - almost 40 years later. .

You can Imagine how relieved I was to finally find this River FLowing in the Wrong Direction. I always thought it might have Been the hitchhiker we picked up with this funny puff of smoke as he got in the truck (Weed). .


Anyhow it is a great drive which will reward you with the Reservoir and a couple of CampGrounds along the River.

After you drive it let us know how it felt driving the River that Flows North. .

Best of Luck,

We will, going all the way to the lake then over to Casper. Sounds like a cool drive. Thanks!

Down in that part of Wyoming it is pretty open - few of the Reservoirs have interesting CG's which might be Fun - My kids did the 2017 eclipse with friends and Loved it.

I'm a Colorado fan so I'd make a few more suggestions if you are into exploring that area.

Snowy Range, While still in Wyoming is close enought to Colorado - https://www.travelwyoming.com/listin...e-scenic-byway - is a beautiful area and while it is not undiscovered it is "Less" discovered and is a fun Drive/Hike.

Also RT 125 down towards Lake Granby is a fun drive/area and will expose you to the Back Side of RMNP, the road less traveled in Colorado has never been a disappointment.

With your 4X4 you would likely enjoy a few of these trails - https://www.alltrails.com/explore?b_...541992187499&a[]=off-road-driving - Colorado has Trails. While the rules and enforcement of the trails registration is far from standard it is good to be aware of this - not really sure if a road/trail with a route designation needs of road registration at least read before you go - https://cpw.state.co.us/buyapply/Pag...ationsOHV.aspx

If RMNP is not for you Steamboat Lake is Beautiful but not Undiscovered - Stagecoach Lake is a little less "discovered but still will be a challenge on weekends - if you are headed back to Nevada you might look at a loop that includes - Breck - Leadville - Twin Lakes and a drive on Independence Pass (Toad) - Cottonwood Pass - Buena Vista - Gunnison - maybe Lake City/Ouray/Silverton/Telluride?Dunton - Black Canyon of the Gunnison and out to Moab.

Think I've venture FAR from the original Question and should STOP.

Best of luck - enjoy the trip,
