What is the best route from Denver to Yellowstone National Park?

I’m trying to hit the road and explore the great outdoors this year, and I want the most scenic route. What’s the best way to drive from Denver to Yellowstone National Park?

The American road trip doesn’t get much more scenic than this one. Your GPS may send you straight up I-25 through
Casper, WY
, but the best route from
Denver
to
Yellowstone National Park
cuts through
Fort Collins
to follow US-287/I-80, US-26, and US-191.
At eight and a half hours, the trip can easily be completed in one day, but you’ll want to leave early to take advantage of as many scenic stops as possible! Here are some of the best:
  • Shoshone National Forest
  • Grand Teton National Park
  • Bridger-Teton National Forest
  • Jackson Lake
The scenic route can sometimes take you off the beaten path, so make sure to add
towing and labor coverage
to your
car insurance
policy before you leave! Download the
