Thank you,, I count myself lucky as well, living in this area has given me the opportunity to see all that nature has to offer. The beauty of the Beartooths and surrounding areas are amazing and healing. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you, I am glad that they bring back memories for you

I have a GoPro 11 - I shoot it in the Flat mode with medium sharpness then edit for color and contrast in Final Cut Pro. (Have a great Ride!)

Have a great drive through the Bighorns, they are an amazing place.

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks again!

Glad you enjoyed the ride!

Thanks!, I am glad that you enjoy them and they help to plan your trip. 🙂

Back in the day there was more of an off season, it is not so much the case now. There is less traffic before and after school starting and ending but not much. The benefit to going late June through the end of August is that you are less likely to encounter snow, and if you are on a bike that is a big deal. Plus the days are longer and riding in the mornings is awesome. Mid day is when the most crowds are at every stop. It is better to go in the fall off season due to weather.

@loristravels thank you for the suggestions! I literally spent an entire day watching your videos and googled alot of the highlights. Educate b4 I go so I know what stops I'm interested in and the history. Thank you again

The photos are a mix of spring summer and fall.

Just riding through with no stops would be between 2 1/2 to 3 hours in most cases. The wyoming side of Beartooth Highway has reduced the speed limit to 45mph in some areas, so that will make a difference. I didn't stop much on this trip, most of the still photos were taken at different times of the year.

He will watch more closely

July August are the best for riding, the less likelihood of snow. We have had some great rides in September as well. (video from 2023 th-cam.com/video/4XMH6vArKDs/w-d-xo.html) The fall colors and less traffic make for a great ride. Just keep an eye on the weather.

the lower elevations were around 45-50 degrees on this day, as I gained elevation to beartooth lake it dropped to between 25-32 degrees.

The beartooth highway and the "plug" (the section on roadway that connects Chief Joseph Highway to Cooke City) does not' open until the end of May, weather permitting and depending on snowpack. You will have snow to deal with and unexpected closures due to weather that early in the season. If the roads are clear and dry it would take between 2-3 hours with little stopping.

@@loristravelswhen was this filmed?

May 21, a week before the Beartooth highway opened.

The Tetons are impressive, we love going there.

@ with usual stops how long would you think to ride from Cody viia chief Joseph via beartooth to red lodge back to gardiner?

@@rmoran113 adding sightseeing time for the stops I would make - 1 hour or less from Cody to the Hwy 296/212 intersection - 3 hours to Red Lodge (fuel) and 3 hours or less back to 296/212 interaction - from that intersection it is about 1 hour or less to Cooke City (fuel) going into YNP 45mph speed limit , traffic, animals, road construction to Mammoth is about 2-3 hours then from mammoth to gardiner less than 1 hour. 10-13 hours(ish) I do tend to take my time to enjoy the scenery. Hope this helps.

I hope you get back there soon, it is such a beautiful ride (or drive)

Thank you, it can be a lot of work but I love the area so much.

I am glad that the videos helped in your trip planning.

Me either, I love going there.

I hope you get the chance to see Chief Joseph in the future. The entire area is beautiful beyond compare.

Thanks! We hope you have an awesome ride!

What a great bit of information! I will have to look it up.. Thank You!

Both directions are beautiful. We prefer traveling north on Chief Joseph Highway, this direction has more impressive views of the mountain ranges while riding or driving. The Beartooth highway is impressive either way, I would recommend stopping at the pullouts to really take in the views if you haven't been there before. Give longer than you think you will need to travel these scenic byways, There are no services except for the Top of the world store near Beartooth lake and it is only open seasonally so make sure you top off your fuel. We hope you have an awesome trip!.

I bet it was a lot less crowded back then, I have been to Belmont Shore a couple of times and took a Photo walk class around the canals for Christmas. There was an insane amount of lights there. I know it's not a motorcycle, but the jeep is the only way I get around to see things. Hopefully once we get back home I can do more motorcycle videos.

I am sure that a lot has changed since then. a ride along the coast north would be a great ride!

I agree, it breaks my heart the way these horses are treated so that welfare cattle ranchers can destroy our land. They keep pushing that story that it is the horses doing the destruction but we know it is not. I have read that the "2025 plan" is to euthanize all the wild horses in holding locations to save money and no longer be responsible for the situation that the BLM has caused. Our government does not care about wildlife unless you can hunt it or make a profit off it. Indiscriminate destruction of wild animals that "they" deem unworthy to exist is rampant especially in Montana and Wyoming. I have read about folks that brag online about going out and killing random wildlife and just leaving it, just using it as target practice. I believe that every creature has a right to live it's life in the wild. From our littlest bug to our greatest mammal, this is their world too and they should be given every chance to survive.

Thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed it.

Sounds like a great ride!

Thanks! I hope you have a great ride!

Thanks! We never get tired of this area, it is such a great ride

I do love the open spaces with no one around. Feeds the soul.

I've been back there a couple of times so I know what you mean. There is almost too many people back there unless you know where to go. I am glad you had a great time. The Pryors are awesome too, I can't wait to get back there.

I hope you had an awesome ride!. This area is amazing.

@ yes!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊

Thank you so much!, Great to hear that they helped with trip planning.

@@loristravelshi lori you ever ride in Minnesota? i live in mn we take our trike to duluth mn

@@protouringnova72 We lived in the Twin Cities for a few years but I didn't have a GoPro then. we only went as far north as Grand Marais and did a couple of loops in areas close to Minneapolis. Pretty area up north. I would love to see the great lakes in the winter.

@ yeah its beautiful up north for sure . I cant wait till spring my bike is getting some work done on it

@@protouringnova72 Here's to a great riding season! 🍻🏍

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the video, the music in this video is from the TH-cam Library. I am sure that the Weather Channel can do a better job keeping you informed of the weather. To get updates on the Beartooth and Chief Joseph if you search Cooke City Mt. it will give you a semi accurate report on conditions.

I hope you have a great ride when you make it here. Montana has some beautiful areas to ride through.
