Beartooth Pass-2009

Trip through Yellowstone and Beartooth Pass. Went in August expecting nice weather. Not so much. Some rain in Yellowstone, hail at top of Beartooth, fairly nice into Red Lodge. From there into Columbus--rained like a cow pissin' on a flat rock. Holed up in Columbus at 1530 figurin' it couldn't be worse the next morning. We were right--not a cloud to be seen the rest of the trip. Recommend this ride to everyone. 5 1/2 days, 1800 miles. Would do it again in a heartbeat. If you have a choice, don't spend the night in Yellowsotne--very expensive and may not find a room. We stayed in Cook City at the Soda Butte Lodge. Highly recommened. Walking distance to food and brew. Had breakfast at the lodge--better be hungry. Hit the freeway home at 80mph. Took a side trip to the big lake north of Spokane, then home. What a ride!!
