I'm hitting the places you mentioned after Yellowstone on the way back. We're headed to the Tetons first. So you're saying instead of going Cheyenne->Rawlins->Lander->Tetons I should go Cheyenne->Casper->Tetons?

Is Independance Rock worth the detour? Looks like it's waaay out of the way.
Independence Rock is interesting but not a must see, especially if no one in the family is very interested in history the Oregon trail.

My family has been back and forth on I80 so much between IA and CA that we have to break things up.

If you have the time, I would also recommend and 2+ hour (above Sheridan, Wy) round trip detour to see the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. It's a beautiful spot and also quite moving.
