What is the best route from Yellowstone to Denver?
I’m at the tail end of my trip to Yellowstone National Park. I want to make a detour to Denver, Colorado to visit a friend before heading home. What’s the best route to Denver?
Follow the bend in the road as Yellowstone becomes 8th Street, then turn right on Canyon Avenue
Turn right onto 11th Street and continue onto S Fork Avenue
Turn left onto Stampede Avenue
In 1 mile, turn right onto US-14 E, then turn right onto WY-120 E
Drive 81 miles, then turn right onto S 6th Street
In half a mile, continue onto US-20 E
In 32 miles, turn left onto US-20 E/US-26 E
Drive 93 miles, then merge onto I-25 S in Casper
I-25 will take you into Denver
The total trip will be about 542 miles and will take around 8 hours and 20 minutes without traffic. While the drive is long, it’s still short enough to power through in one day if you’re so inclined!
