    This road is only dangerous when there is an excess of citiots on it or your caught in weather.i ride this road about 10-15 times a year on my klr650. I do try and not get stuck behind Harleys on this road.

    Brother, outstanding content thru Beartooth Pass! You took me down memory lane past Bone Daddy’s Custom Cycles on Main Street in Red Lodge, and the Boxcar we’ve stopped at for a burger. Never get tired of Beartooth, but I’m like you asking myself, why do I take so long to come back! Easily Top 3 or Top 5 rides in the US. I’m always so locked in I always pass up Chief Joseph HWY into Cody! Dang looking at the Soda Butte Lodge where I’ve stayed, and grabbed a pizza across the street…. BUT would love to hear the story/details you guys on snowmobiles dropping off into “the deep” for the night! Lol. Hey and on a side note, if you haven’t already, leaving Cody to Yellowstone, 18 miles before the entrance on the Shoshone River, the Historic UXU Ranch has new owners, upgraded a few things, the bridge over the river, check it out, great place to stay just outside the park!

    Road this in 94 and 2008. 2008 road was half gravel during construction. Must go again while still able as it is indeed an inspiring, deeply moving stretch of Americana not to be missed by anyone.

    Thanks for a great video. It’s been 20 years since I last rode Bear-Tooth.
    First rode Bear-tooth in 1993, with 4 buddies. Never had so much fun, as it was in a mild snow storm. One of the great things about riding long distance, eventually it will throw some big challenges. With the weather, you either ride or find a hotel. To me, riding Bear-tooth in a snow storm was a test of our skill sets. Challenge accepted, and all 5 of us made with no issues. It would have been nice to record our conversation at lunch in Cook City after that ride.
    The 5 of us rode out of Denver, did 10’s of thousands of miles together. Back roads and tenting on 2 wheels, nothing can compare!

      That’s an awesome story, thanks for sharing! We once did Mt. Evans at 7am in the morning and hit an inch of snow a mile from the top. Slogged our way up there and then waited for the snow to melt. Great memories!

    I beg to differ; the million-dollar highway might constitute the best-view highway - but this is undoubtedly at par with it.

    Gorgeous video.. I drove this same Route Sep of 2013. When you are driving a car no way do you get the views you show, passenger some. It was mainly all guard rails all the way, no sheer drop offs maybe a little on the Wyoming side. You had a gorgeous day to drive it..Chief Joseph Highway beautiful way to enter Cody. Hope you had a chance to go from Cody to Yellowstone via another gorgeous drive, The Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway thru Wapiti Valley (Grizzly Bear Country) and into the East entrance of Yellowstone..Thanks again for such an AWESOME video....

    • @FullTankAdventures
