U.S. Route 287 (US 287) is a north–south US Highway in northern Texas, northwest Oklahoma, eastern Colorado, central Wyoming, and southern and central Montana in American Truck Simulator. The route is separated into six sections: I-35W in Fort Worth to US 87 and TX 152 in Dumas; US 50 and US 385 in Lamar to Interstate 25, Interstate 70, and US 40 in Denver; US 34 in Loveland to SH 14, within Fort Collins; US 30 in Laramie to US 30 and WYO 487 in Medicine Bow; Interstate 80 and US 30 in Sinclair to Ennis; and along Prospect Avenue in Helena. In real life, US 287 runs 1791 miles (2882 km) between Port Arthur, TX, and Choteau, MT.
Course[]
US 287 begins at I-35W in Fort Worth, Texas. It runs northwest and becomes concurrent with US 82, then heads into Wichita Falls where it stops being concurrent with US 82 and becomes concurrent with I-44 and US 277. It goes north for a few miles before heading west, leaving I-44 and US 277. It goes through the town of Childress before entering Amarillo. Here, it becomes concurrent with I-40, then leaves I-40 and becomes concurrent with US 87. It heads north to Dumas, where it ends at TX 152. US 87 leaves and goes west. US 287 resumes at US 50 in Lamar, Colorado, where it had come north from Oklahoma. US 287 runs concurrent with US 50 for a short distance and breaks away at the Bushnell feed lot west of Lamar. US 287 continues north across the vast Great Plains, through the towns of Eads and Kit Carson. At Kit Carson, the highway meets US 40, and the two highways run together past Wild Horse to Limon and Interstate 70, along which the highways run concurrent to Denver. US 287 resumes at its intersection with US 34 in Loveland, and continues north through Fort Collins, ending at a Bushnell ranch to the north of town.
US 287 resumes in Laramie, Wyoming, where it runs through downtown concurrent with US 30. Out of Laramie, the highways run together through Rock River to Medicine Bow and WYO 487, where a gap in their courses begin. US 287 continues at Interstate 80 in Rawlins, and after passing through the downtown, sets off along the edge of the arid Great Divide Basin to Muddy Gap, concurrent with WYO 789. At Muddy Gap the highways meet WYO 220, and trend northwest along the course of the Oregon Trail, which features a rest area at Sweetwater Station. After slipping through the brilliantly red rocks of the Derby Dome, the highway intersects with WYO 28, and shortly after reaches Lander, where US 789 breaks away to Riverton. US 287 continues along the feet of the Wind River Range to US 26, along which the highway runs concurrent to Moran. There US 287 breaks from US 26 and follows US 89 and US 191 north through Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, the latter also introducing US 20 to this concurrency. These highways gradually go their own ways, US 287 being the last to separate from US 191, north of West Yellowstone, Montana. US 287 then follows the Madison River between the Henrys Lake Mountains to the south and the Madison Range to the north, running along the north shore of Earthquake Lake, where there is an overlook with a viewpoint. Past Earthquake Lake, the highway enters the Madison Valley, bound to the west by the Centennial Mountains and the Gravelly Range; here there are two NAMIQ facilities belonging to Bozeman. US 287 ends across the Madison from the town of Ennis, and resumes in Helena, where it runs concurrent with US 12 along Prospect Avenue.
