Wyoming travel

[sweetgeorgia]

We must drive from Gillette,WY to Star Valley Ranch near Afton, WY. We are.concerned about pulling our 30’ trailer with our GMC 150 through the mountain passes in Tetons. Is there a good southern route?

Compare the WY 28 Southern route, it's only about 30 minutes longer. I've driven 26 and there are some steep grades with no place to pull over to rest the pickup.
Consider buying a Western states mountain directory, it has all the grades and elevations.
