- Join me for a relaxing scenic drive along Hwy 296, Chief Joseph Highway and Hwy 212 Beartooth Highway.
This is a long one and I have added chapters so it will be easily navigated. (I actually cut it down from two hours to just under one hour.
The Halfway mark is at 27 minutes and there is much to see on the way back through Chief Joseph as well.
You can always watch half and come back later to watch the other half.
The Beartooth Highway was not completely open on this drive, it was closed just past Long Lake at the barricade so I had to turn around and head back. There was still a bit of snow the higher I traveled and it was beautiful.
I hope you enjoy the Video of this beautiful area.

We have snowmobiled that area for years, staying in Cooke City, this past summer was my first time over the entirety of Beartooth Pass, in a car, drove from Red Lodge, to Cooke City and then thru Yellowstone to Gardner. My favorite place on earth!! Great video!!
Thanks! It is my favorite place on earth as well. I am glad you got to see the Beartooths in the summer months, it is magnificent.
@@loristravels Watched it again this morning with Pink Floyd "Echoes" in the background. Very nice. They go together well.
@@grogman1911 I am glad you are enjoying this video. It would be great if I could use that music with the video but that whole copyright thing holds me back. 😊
Very nicely done.
Thank you I am glad you enjoyed the video
@@loristravels it’s a fun drive. Thank you for bringing back great memories.
Thanks, Lori....a much needed and much appreciated drive through some beautiful country. A perfect late February "pick me up"!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I sure miss it there.
@@loristravels No doubt......
Been across there several times
It is a amazing highway 😊
Gorgeous country!
I agree, I never get tired of being there.
Great Video! It is beautiful scenery with great camera work and editing. I am curious about the camera and editing tools that you use. We are making another motorcycle trip there the first week of September. Great job. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I use a GoPro11, I mounted the camera out my side window on this video which is why it is in a stationary position. I use a Nikon Z6 and my Iphone for still shots (and some video). I use Final cut pro for video editing and most of the text and effects are free ones I found on the internet. For my still shots I edit using Lightroom, both versions. I hope your trip out here is awesome.
I will be driving the Beartooth from Lamar valley through Cook City to Red Lodge in July. I am so excited, thanks for sharing 👍👍
That is an awesome route, you will love it.
Really enjoy your videos. Missed this road two years ago due to wash outs. Hope to fly in first of August, renting a motorcycle from Eagle Riders and riding it. Beautiful country up there you have.
Sounds like an awesome vacation plan. Both of these highways are just beautiful. I am glad you enjoy the videos, thank you.
Great video, your camera skills are awesome.
Thank you so much 😊
Nice video. Are you making room on your hard drive for this year's travels? LOL
New Year, New Hard Drive!. We hope to do more Videos from the MC this year but it might be california instead of Montana. I will be back to Montana often but those videos will all be from the Jeep since my husband is working in California. I haven't worked it all our yet. Thanks for watching!.
I'm really enjoying your videos ! My wife and I are going out to this area in mid September. Your videos really have us anxious to go see all the beauty of Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and all these senic drives. Thanks for giving us a preview of what's to come !!
Thank you so much, Fall is beautiful here and the surrounding areas. You will love it, Have a fantastic trip! 😊
Just curious what kind of camera you use ?
@@rustyjohnson2659 I mostly use a GoPro11 to capture the video from the moving Jeep or Motorcycle. Still shots and some video, I use a Nikon Z6 and my Iphone.
Thanks for the info. I have a gopro I'll use too. What do you have it mounted on ? You have nice steady shots and good panning around. Sorry for so many questions...lol
@@rustyjohnson2659 No worries, I just have the GoPro 11 mounted onto a Volta, it is one of their grips that is also a battery. I have found that the newer gopros have better stabilization and if the footage still looks wobbly I fix it in Final Cut Pro.I don't use a gimbal, I just hand hold the grip out the drivers window or out the top. I gently rotate the gopro towards different things. I try not to rotate it too quickly otherwise it has a dizzying effect on the viewer. I don't mind the questions, I still do not have the best setup but it works for me. I know that the more successful UA-camrs don't like to give away any of their secrets but when a person is just starting it is nice to get some sort of advice even if they use it as a stepping stone to better ideas.
Love your editing tools .... what ya using for you editing software?? ... nice videos
I use lightroom on the still photos and use Final cut pro for the videos.
Lot of changes have been done since the i drove this road.
They did a great job with the beartooth falls area with the pullouts. What other changes did you see since you where on this road?
@@loristravels Last i drove Chief Joseph was back in 2013.
@@stevemattson4863 I hope you get the chance to drive it again soon.
