    You can’t beat I-94 if you like the open road. It pretty flat till past Billings Montana you have fun big hills in Montana. You got Badlands in North Dakota. Then kinda flat part of Montana and when you get to western side of Montana you in some big hills.

    Agree, I'd run 94, to 200, to 90.

    Or just 94 to 90

    Well if you are on I-90 through Montana make sure you stop at the 50,000 Silver Dollar at exit 16.

    Yes, stop at Haugan, MT at the 50,000 Silver Dollar. It's a great place to buy t-shirts or souvenirs and the bar/restaurant is good.

    I'd say 90-94. Less traffic. Prettier scenery.
