Heads Up
- 1. US Route 20 is the longest road in the USA; ensure your vehicle is in top condition for 3,300+ miles.
- 2. Yellowstone and Grand Teton sections may have seasonal closures or heavy snow from October to May.
- 3. Western segments in Oregon and Wyoming have long stretches without fuel or services; plan stops accordingly.
- 4. National Park passes (America the Beautiful) are highly recommended for the multiple monument and park stops.
