I’m towing west on I80 to the Tetons and Yellowstone. I see that 191 North would save me 300 miles vs. Salt Lake City and I15. Is 191 a reasonable route to tow my 5ver? Got good brakes. And 300 miles less could easily compensate for a hill or two?
After Yellowstone, can I take that road to Ashton to pick up highway 20 west?
What say you, road gurus?

Haven't driven the section between the Tetons and I-80, but others here have said it's fine. 2-lane of course, but decent. The road west from West Yellowstone to Ashton is fine too - have been there, some years ago, several times over.

Your choice of 191 is a good road. There should be no problem. The grades and such will be better than if you go to Salt Lake and use I15. The road to Ashton is also good.

Take 191. You'll save miles and the scenery is awesome. You shouldn't have any problems.

There is a lot of History on the 191 route. You will cross the Oregon trail and two cutoffs that were used. The Lander Cutoff and the Sublette cutoff. As mentioned the scenery is magnificent if you like mountains. If you are trout fisherman it will be difficult to resist.

Is 191 better than going thru Lander on 26?

OP here:
I dunno myself. For the extra 10 miles, I figured to spend more of those miles on the interstate. (I got a lot of ground to cover.)
Opinions?

Wel, I took 191 to 26 as advised. It was an easy drive actually, with no steep inclines, despite the elevation gain. Thanks to all who replied.
