x2  Did that route in '09. 

Just be careful if you are westbound out of the Tetons on US 26.  There are 10% downhill grades into Idaho.  Make sure your Jacobs brake is working!!

OK we did do this route and it was not bad until we got to that 10 mile  6 to 8+ grade down hill  the first mile was not bad 2 and 3 were on dirt  road construction the 4 was bad, white smoke at the drive and tag. there was a pull off on the left side just as I went to the left the car behind me pasted  but  I did get in and stopped drum temps are at 425 a
hour later temps are at 195  so took the truck off (6000 lbs off) 2 gear and jake the next 6 miles all good and put the truck back on and now we are in west yellowstone Thanks Jerry

Grayhound, what road are you talking about?  I am confused; don't remember a downhill portion into Yellowstone.  Or are you talking about leaving Yellowstone?
