Well after much debate we decided to tackle the Beartooth Highway. Although it meant retracing our steps a bit - we were unanimous in the final vote. Rolling Tepee rested up and we were ready to tackle the 10,000 foot summit!
As you will see, it is truly the most amazing scenic highway the country has to offer. We left Livingston around 9 AM and were on the Beartooth by 11AM. We entered the Beartooth from the North Eastern Yellowstone entrance going through the town of Red Lodge. I can't begin to describe to you the incredible views, scenery and pure exhilaration that we all felt traveling on the Beartooth. The roads were extremely narrow and exclusively switchbacks but the stress of bringing Rolling Tepee through the adverse driving conditions could not compare with the excitement and amazement of the incredible landscapes. We had an amazing trip.
We arrived in Billings, MT with mixed emotions. We were still riding high form our amazing journey over the Beartooth but we also knew that this was our last night with Rolling Tepee. We celebrated our final night with some great steaks, a nice bottle of wine and a of course some smores.
