beartooth highway

Beartooth Pass is an All-American Road that has been called "the most beautiful drive in America," by late CBS correspondent Charles Kuralt.http://www.redlodge.com/recreation/sights/byway.htm The route US 212 initiates in Red Lodge, Montana and traces a series of steep zigzags and switchbacks, along the Montana-Wyoming border to the 10,974 foot high Beartooth Pass. The elevation rises from 5,200 feet to almost 8,000 feet in 12 miles in the most daring landscapes. On the top or plateau it flattens somewhat out, and then it goes down again to Cooke City, Montana - the north-east gateway to Yellowstone National Park. The highway officially opened June 14, 1936. Be careful though, since thunderstorm, hailstorm or even snowstorm can prevail even in the summer months. Set aside at least two hours for the 69 mile long trip.
