It’s a fantastic drive. I’d stay in the front ranges to avoid the crowds. Target Bozeman instead of the typical Great Falls stop. Then make your way to Cody Wy. A wonderful little town with lots of history. Then I’d go to Laramie. Another pretty college town with good hotels or camping.
If you’re into geology and dinosaurs, on your way back go through Vernal Ut and dinosaur national monument. They have built a large viewing area overtop of an intact bone bed. Different older dinosaurs than you can see around here. If you’re into geology (and who isn’t?) there’s many excellent guidebooks published by local groups that give recommendations on where to stop and stretch your legs and see the sights.
