Supposed to be a pretty good time, Red Lodge is a nice spot and Beartooth pass is incredible.....

I was there two years ago. Did an ironbutt ride on my Road Glide out there.
The Beartooth Highway was closed due to all of the slides from the previous winter they were still cleaning up. Definitely had a good time, although that one place where the girls start shedding their clothes was like being in a sardine can. Nice slide show Jams!

I haven't been to the rally, but Beartooth Hwy, Beartooth Pass, and Red Lodge is one highway that noone should miss. I was there in summer of 2006 on my way back from Alberta to Texas. Beartooth was certainly a highpoint on the trip. Montana is truly a great state. I sometimes find it very hard to take many pictures, I get so caught up in riding the twisties. Below are some of the ones that I took, though (click thumbnail pic to enlarge).
Waiting in Cooke City, MT (on Beartooth Hwy: US-212) to go down a 4 mile stretch of mud/gravel road (mostly mud) to start the ride to Red Lodge. Beartooth Pass Red Lodge, MT

Yes,,, we rode that same stretch of gravel that summer as well.
The Chief Joseph road off the pass towards Cody is worth riding as well. |

Ya' know folks were talking about the Chief Joseph and I regret missing it. I guess that's a great excuse to go back someday and do it all over again.

Sounds like a plan.
Was Googling for pictures of Chief Joseph Highway and stumbled across this blog with a couple of good pictures of the area as well as a cool sounding trip. --> http://www.dustydavis.com/ |

I have been out there the last two years, stayed for 2 days in Cooke City, Rode Beartooth and Chief Joseph highway, they are both awesome, but be prepared for anything, last year the last week in July we hit 108 degrees in Greybull heading to Cody, later that evening we hit sleet/rain on Chief Joseph highway. The year before on August 4th we had hard enough snow at the top of Beartooth to have to stop for a while. All that being said it is still my alltime favorite place to ride and just wish it wasn't so damn far from WI. If you get a chance to get to Cody, check out the Irma Motel, stayed there the year before last, they have a daily breakfast buffet and prime rib buffet in the evening, people say the old part of the Hotel is haunted, I tend to agree!!!

Beartooth is an incredible ride. Cheif Josef is good too, but I liked BT better.
Personally Yellowstone is one of my favorite places so far. Been there twice, 2nd time just passing through to BT. Sure can be climate shock. You ride through the Black Hills, around 90-100 degrees, then get inthe higehr elevations where its 40 in the morning and 50-70 during the day. The one year on Cheif Josef, we pulled over and put our hands on the engine. That is one of the coldest times I can remember. Not the coldest ride, but for so long. |

The 212 is great, just watch the metal grate bridge crossing if it's foggy or raining. Hit it last year while it was wet, rear end kicked a little and made me pucker some.
You can grind your floor boards some on the corners and the view from the pass up top is breathtaking. It's like looking down on the entire world.
