When to Go
Spring
Spring drives could take advantage of the highway-focused routes like Gillette or Ranchettes, which have parks. Longer mixed drives might still be impacted by lingering conditions.
Summer
Summer is ideal for all drives, including the longest 5-7 hour trips to places like Jackson or Marbleton, which offer the highest drive scores and varied terrain.
Fall
Fall colors could enhance the 'turn-heavy local drive' options to Worland or Powell. The highway routes to Ranchettes and Gillette with parks are also good choices.
