What a drive! It was so incredibly beautiful! We started out from Cody, WY on SR 120 then met up with SR 212 which encompasses the Beartooth Pass. After driving the “loop” we both decided that the WY side was much more scenic than the MT side, but all in all it was a beautiful drive. Unfortunately the day of our drive it was overcast and cold! Really cold! There were several bikers (motorcycles, not bicycles) up there and all we could think was “MMMM, that looks like fun! NOT!!’ It was so cold, I can’t even imagine how they made it. Most were bundled up and had scarves over their faces but many weren’t. Brrrrr!
The loop took us about 5 hours to drive. We made several photo stops and once for gas at “The Top of the World”, a small store, gas station and campground just a few miles from the pass. Surrounded by mountains, small mountain lakes, huge boulders... it was a beautiful setting. Hopefully some of the pics will do it justice. If you ever get a chance to go – DO IT! Just don’t take an RV on the road – it is really narrow, very winding and two way traffic. There were a few RVs on the road but I wouldn’t recommend it.
