From Great Falls -if you get the park pass - take a slightly longer route and head into Glacier and then back out using Going-To-The-Sun-Road .... absolutely breath taking views
Planning a road trip to Sundre, Canada

The Badlands are open 24/7.
I'm not leaving the east coast before July 12 and heading to Washington State. How that all goes will determine where I'll backtrack to meet you.

Going to the sun was snowed in the last time I was there and it was in June!

I recommend tent camping - much cheaper & way more exciting...

Ok, so I've been taking a break from route planning, and going over the things I need to do to the Sling, or get for the trip. Just spitballin' here, and some of it may not happen.
FOR the trip:
- cooling seat: Maybe something like this. Anyone ever use one? ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EhVUAb1GAD254
- cooling vest? Not sure if I will get one.
- first aid kit in Sling. Already have it, just have to make sure I put it in
- phone holder: to fit the new center brace, which means I need to figure out what I need to mount it.
- small gas can. I'm thinking a 2 gal can on the passenger side floorboard.TO the Sling:
- Lights: Have two headlights out. Need all 6
- Switches: may want to finally do the switches to control the headlights so I dont have to burn all 6 all trip.
- laser alignment? Maybe? Might make the trip smoother, and I've been thinking about it for a yearAlso thinking about borrowing a set of Baker air wings, and/or doing the plastic hose air porting trick that a couple guys have set up.
So, peanut gallery....what am I missing?
Passport - easily overlooked but critical

@Ross is right on Great Falls - they have the best beer nuts in the country
If you want to save some money, you can try deer nuts. Beer nuts will run you about $6.00 a pound, and Deer nuts are under a BUCK

Yeah, yeah, passport, military ID, helmet, gloves, headsets, couple pairs of glasses, presents for the Brackley kids, etc...I meant for car gear that might be out of the norm.
That folding 4-way of @FunCycle's, now that might be something.
