Currently we are in the Black Hills, SD. I want to know what the rest of 90 west is like driving wise. I sometimes get anxiety driving up and down mountains, especially when the road has big drop offs on the side in to canyons, cliffs, etc. How is the drive from South Dakota through Bozeman and up to Glacier National Park? Any help is appreciated. I would just like to know what to expect and prepare for.
Thanks
 
90 west is decent highway or it was in 2022. The drive over the Rockies in Montana isn't too bad as far as long steep grades. The worst pulls are from Bozeman to Butte.
Is it your intention to go to East or West Glacier?
 
Being an interstate highway 90 is built to a wider standard than say a state highway. I have driven it multiple times from Washington to South Dakota and back and found the layout quite nice. Other than the actual road surface being poor at times my only complaint is the lack of rest stops.

We plan on going to West Glacier. We are trying to see if 90 West from Bozeman up through Missoula and then head up is an easier drive than going through Helena, even though it's slightly longer.

The 90 is totally fine, major freeway that’s an easy drive outside the wind that can happen in Montana. Now if you don’t like the climbs, curvy roads and that nature nice you get off the freeway and take one of the two lane highways through Montana that’s a different story.
