EP11 :' The Family Christmas Card '
Chateau d If:
That 70 miles could be expressed as somewhere between 40 and 90 miles.
In the Mom's shot those Tetons do look closer than they would look from Dubois. I tried Google Earthing it and they get rather small. But Camera Dudes know how to make the far look near with just a twist of a lens. So... ?

Thanks, G'man. I knew about the 15200 but didn't know about the Route number.
But if the Mom's photo is correct, the false pit stop isn't near Dubois. I've driven that road before. At Moran Junction, the highway going south splits with one branch going toward Jackson and the other toward Dubois. The road to Dubois climbs up over the Continental Divide and the Rocky Mountains at Togwatee Pass. Dubois is then 30 to 40 miles downhill from there. You wouldn't be able to see the Tetons from there.
Estimating travel time after an Old Faithful eruption is kind of dicey. The racers did not view Old Faithful anywhere near where most tourists do. In the summer time there could be many hundreds of people around Old Faithful. Traffic jams can ensure as the sightseers depart.
Chateau d If:
Wherever it is, they don't stay very long. They get sent on their way by Phil's clue. Characteristically, they would be sent to find Buffalo Bill in Cody. And get stopped by Hours of Operation until something like 8 am (a time when regular customers/visitors would not be there).
Then golf carts. Then wagons and TeePees*. Then Pit Stop in Fishtail/Absarokee.
*The long shadows here could be either early AM or late in the day.
