Beartooth Highway - Wyoming
This pass through the Beartooth Mountains was a fun ride. Up the long, twisty highway. A few years ago, my husband I took the road in our motorhome pulling a motorcycle trailer. Riders were passing us left and right, then you'd see them stopping in the scenic turnouts. Later, they would pass us again. It was a little humilating. The drive seemed to take all day to get from Yellowstone to Coty.
But this past summer, we and four other couples got to switch the roles. We got to wind our way up one of America's most scenic highways. From the top, we stopped and I took this photo of where he had just been. It was awe-inspiring to see that road weave around the mountains.
For some reason, the ride was much shorter on the bike. We were in Coty by lunch time. Which is good, this summer we weren't the old farts in the motorhome!

That is a fantastic area. We vacationed in Yellowstone last summer. I have been posting some pictures from the trip from time to time on my McKinney Daily Photo blog. Maybe you guys were some of the bikers that passed us?
We rode from here to Yellowstone, then back down through the central rockies in mid June. I was beautiful--although still a little early. We were there in August 2004. Much warmer. I loved seeing all that from the back of a motorcycle the whole way. In 04 we road just the park and saw much more of it from the motorcycle. This last summer was more about the ride there and back. I really loved it.
wow, this pic looks like it was taken from up in our airplane..very cool!
