There are 2 routes you could take there, both are pretty spectacular. You can go into Great Falls then swing off to US 89 all the way down. Good drive with nice scenery, 2 lanes. Or I-15 to the I-90 then down US 89. 4 lanes until you hit 89, but on the I-15 you get to go through the mountains, very very fun drive but does take longer.

Took a little different way back up from Yellowstone on a recent trip and took Highway 287. Some of the nicest scenery out of the 7-8 States that we travelled through. You go past Hebgen Lake and Quake Lake and remote but cool little towns along the Madison River such as Ennis that make you want to stop, drop and fish. Almost as nice as driving along the coast. Definitely more relaxing and an area that I would like to tour on a road bike. Not that far from home either as we easily drove from West Yellowstone home by taking the 287 to Helena and then I-15 up, in one day. I wouldn't have thought of this route but the GPS did
