Going to Yellowstone Park from Omaha by car

Greetings!This summer I plan to travel by car to Yellowstone National
Park from Omaha -NE. I plan to stop at Rapid City and see Mount
Rushmore. Then I shall travel from there to Yellowstone National Park.
How is the road from from Rapid City to Yellowstone Park? Can I make
it one day? I am not in a hurry. I want to travel comfortable distance
in a day. What will be the town nearest to Yellowstone Park?

With thanks.

I would break the road into two pieces east or and west of Granite Pass.
East of that (west of Rapid City) if I remeber correctly the road if flat,
and fairly boring. Once you hit Granite Pass, all that changes. The roads
there are breathtaking. I made much more than Yellowstone - Rapid City in
one day (but I was in a hurry) so I'm sure that you can do it confortably as
well, just make sure you're filled up, I was turing off my engine, and
rolling in neutal in places to save on gas through this stretch (not a nice
feeling) - finally when I found a gas station I paid and arm and a leg.

anyway, more info and pictures he
