Heads Up
- 1. US Route 20 is the longest road in the United States; ensure your vehicle is in top condition for the 3,300+ mile trip.
- 2. Yellowstone and the Bighorn Mountains can experience snow even in early summer; check pass conditions before crossing.
- 3. In the Great Plains (Wyoming/Nebraska/Iowa), gas stations can be far apart; keep your tank at least half full.
- 4. The route through Chicago and Boston involves heavy traffic and tolls; consider an E-ZPass for the eastern leg.
