Pick two towns. Get road miles and drive time, and if you like, a list of good towns to stop in every few hours. Then open the full route choices in Google or Apple Maps.
Apple Maps takes one stop at a time, so each leg opens on its own.
Estimates use straight-line distance with a road factor. Google and Apple show exact miles and live traffic.
Road routing by Valhalla on the free FOSSGIS server, with map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. Another free option is OSRM. Times assume light traffic and no breaks. Scenic means fewer interstates; scenery itself is not measured.
Google Maps: the gray lines are the alternates. Tap one to compare its time and miles. Google picks its own route, so use the miles here as a guide.
Fastest, Shortest, Scenic: tap one above to switch. Scenic avoids interstates where it can, so it is slower and longer, and the Google Maps link then asks for no highways. Add a scenic stop for roads you already love.
Stops: choose how many hours apart, and the page picks the biggest towns near each mark that are close to the road. Check any stop on the map before you count on it.
Winter note: Beartooth Highway and Going-to-the-Sun Road close for the season. Check road status before you rely on them.
