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?

It was on the approach to Ten Sleep inbetween Worland and Buffalo Wy
