There is a lot to see in the standard trio of national parks (Yellowstone, Tetons, Glacier) in those states. If you go to Glacier there is a lot to see and do between there and the Canadian Rockies extending up to Jasper.

I lreally like Hungry Horse Reservoir in the Flathead Natl forest. Plenty of camps, lots of trails too, but bring a saw. Last year there were a couple blowdowns.

Thanks for the info and keep it coming. Still trying to decide if I want to go that route

I did a pic heavy write up of my drive through Montana and Wyoming here-

2018 Ram PowerWagon

I've owned this truck for a little over one year at this point and have racked up 30k miles so far. As it sits now, the PW is a mild build on 17" AEV salta wheels wrapped in 37" Toyo MT tires, and carrying a leer 100RCC cap with Rhino Rack pioneer platform out back. Since I'll be playing catch...

Late to the game but paradise valley hs some amazing areas which are breathe taking. Also the Bridger mountains. The picture was from Tom Miner down in paradise falls.

Would you by chance have a map or just a list of areas you did on this trip. From the pictures you took this is exactly what I’m looking for!

You really can't go wrong anywhere in the mountain parts of MT or WY. I spent a couple nights camping along Grey's River Road outside of Alpine, WY and two more along the Upper Green River outside of Pinedale in October. Both were lovely. It really depends on what you're looking for. For more ideas, check out the Walthall Family series from Expedition Overland. They spent a couple months exploring Montana this summer.

A couple places to check out for a change of pace along the way:

Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, WY: You can easily spend a full day here. There are five different wings to explore.
Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale, WY: Good for an hour or two depending on how deep you want to go.

Once you have things narrowed down a bit, call the local ranger stations and ask their advice. I did that several times on my last trip and found them to be very helpful.
