Beartooth Pass - By thumpr54

just FYI...the Beartooth Pass does not open in the spring until Memorial Day weekend, usually....and closes with the first good snowfall. Wyoming does not plow the road so sometimes you can go up from Red Lodge to the Wyoming line. When in the area you should also ride Chief Joseph Scenic Byway which intersects Beartooth Hwy east of Cooke City and ends north of Cody, WY. Often you can go on Chief Joseph from Cody to Cooke City but not over the pass. And the road from the North entrance to YNP at Gardiner to Cooke City is usually open year round.
