I'm planning to fly into Rapid City, rent a car, visit Mt. Rushmore + Badlands NP + Mt. Devil and continue along I-90 to the Yellowstone NP. This thread already gives lots of information about the area around Rapid City. I'm planning to go there in November so it may be already quite cold and snowing as my travel book educated me.
1.) Is there anything worth while to see along the I-90 (or better drive straight into the Yellowstone NP without loosing time)?
2.) Do you have any ideas if Marriott, Starwood, Hilton, (or other points earning properties are in the area)
3.) Where do you recommend (see also 2.) - if possible and not far away) to stay for easy access into Yellowstone NP? (preferred: rather new rooms; accomodation with own shower/tube; no shared rest rooms)
Any comments/ideas appreciated.
