Note:
more of this route is in Wyoming than in Montana yet
because it starts and ends in Montana it was listed
as a Montana route.

Motorcycle
Road Scenery:
This
road will curl your hair. Lotsa UP and DOWN, little guardrails,
awesome scenery. You couldn't build a better route than
this one! Expect to see as many bikes on this road as cars!
Everything from incredible mountains, dense forest, rivers,
rocks to snow and tundra. And a whole lot of "straight down"!.

Motorcycle
Road Quality:
Steep
grades, endless hairpin curves, countless switch-backs,
good pavement as no trucks, campers dare go up this one!
Motorcycle
Roadside Amenities:
Just
lots of pullouts to peer over the edge!
Directions:
North
entrance....Go south of Billings and I-90 on highway 212
through Red
Lodge (MT). About 15 minutes south of town you go UP!
way up to nearly 11,000 feet. Extreme road. About 2 hrs
later after going over the top and down a even narrower
south decent into Wyoming, you can go West into Yellowstone
Park on 212 through Cook City, or East to Cody on the Chief
Joseph scenic Highway, and it is nearly as good as the Beartooth!
From the East do yourselves a favor and come from Sheridan
over the Bighorn Mountains(another
great route!). Suggest if going South to forget Yellowstone
Park and go east! Fantastic mountain route. If you gotta
see the park..Turn around at Sheridan and go back in on
14 through Cody. Don't miss these roads!

We took the ride East – West in early August and dropped over to Cody. Coming out of Red Lodge was not real exciting, but once we got into the mountains some really world class views. Hwy 296 back over to Cody was another worthwhile motorcycle ride.
