Red Lodge MT to West Yellowstone MT Day 2

Beartooth Pass...

Thats it. Beartooth Pass. I need not to say more.
Ok, I've been many places on and off a motorcycle but Beartooth Pass wins it all. We got rolling early due to time differences and our sleep patterns. Up early and beating all the other in the rolling homes on wheels. We started up the pass at 8:00 am, it was cool and the sun was just coming up..no traffic.
Just a few pictures to show what it was all about.


Then there was Yellowstone. Everyone said it was not going to be the best part of the trip. I got to agree. We came in the NE entrance from Silver Creek, sort of a secondary entrance. That worked to our advatage as traffic was light and animals were all around. WE quickly seen bison and elk...no bears :-(


Once we got to the mainstream areas traffic picked up and we were slowing down...and it got hotter. We checked out some falls, the lake, some animals but overall we kept talking of beartooth pass. We even skipped the gysers due to the walk in the heat. Overall it was good to go but ya know a pine tree is a pine tree. Glad we went but glad we hit the hotel early at about 4pm to get off the bike and be a tourist. Tommorow Seeley Lake! But its going to get cold in the mountians. High of 60. Few more picture..the rest will be on the photo link in the next few days.
