I guess you've never been to Teddy Roosevelt National Park. However, the O.P. doesn't need to go that far north.steveblonde said:Anyway you go you will hit mountains Billings is in the middle of them. South Dakota is amazing North Dakota is as boring as you can possibly get Wyoming will put you to sleep on a good day but its flat and desolate. Northern Montana is all hills mountains and bendy twisty roads beautiful country side, cant wait to drive it again when going to Sturgis again this summer
I guess you've also never been to Yellowstone N.P., Grand Teton N.P., The Beartooth Mtns., or the Bighorn mtns.steveblonde said:Wyoming will put you to sleep on a good day but its flat and desolate.
Billings is in southern Montana. He doesn't nee4d to go to northern Montana either.steveblonde said:Northern Montana is all hills mountains and bendy twisty roads beautiful country side, cant wait to drive it again when going to Sturgis again this summer

A very good route. There is one good climb on I-25 out of Cheyenne, WY and then a drop into Laramie. Nothing bad, but going down be sure to get into a low gear, starting off in 2nd or 3rd so you don't have to use your brakes.welmack said:Not knowing where in Texas you are starting from the best I can recommend is start by figuring a route to Amarillo.
Then take US 287 from Amarillo through Boise City Ok to Limon Colo.
Now take I-70 to Denver.
From Denver takeI-25 all the way into Buffalo Wyo.
There you catch I-90 into Billings.
I trucked for several years from Amarillo into Canada and this is the easiest terrain I found from Amarillo to Billings. Stay away from I-25 in Southern Colo as there are several hard pulls there.

OOPS! My bad. Thanks for correcting my error.welmack said:If you stay on I-25 through Cheyenne you won't go to Laramie. You are thinking of westbound I-80 from Cheyenne.

As you progress West on 205 keep your eyes on the hill sides, if conditions are right, you will be treated to a site few ever see. Literally 100s of Deer, Antelope, and maybe some elk. They will become visible as their shadows make it easy to see them.
We managed to do this one morning early and it was truly stunning.
