What’s the best route from Yellowstone to Mt. Rushmore?

My sister and I are on a mission to visit every national park in the country. We’ll be visiting Yellowstone soon, and then we want to hit up Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota. What’s the best way to get there?

What a great trip! The best route from Yellowstone to Mt. Rushmore is 467 miles and will take you about nine hours to drive. The trek will lead you across the width of northern
Wyoming
through cities like
Cody
, Ten Sleep, Buffalo,
Gillette
, and
Newcastle
before landing you in the Black Hills National Forest where Mt. Rushmore is located.
The trip across Wyoming will offer plenty of gorgeous scenery, but you’ll also have some long stretches of flat grasslands as you drive through the Great Plains. Before you jump on the road, though, you’ll want to be sure you have the right
car insurance policy
for your long drive.
While you’re at it, you may want to sign up for
towing and labor coverage
through your insurance provider—it could come in handy if you happen to break down on a remote highway in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, you can save time and money by using the
Jerry
app to shop for coverage.
