- See 062 for a newly edited, extended version of this video.
Beartooth Highway is a 69-mile-long mountain highway that joins Red Lodge, MT and Yellowstone National Park's Northeast Entrance. Hwy 212 reaches its summit at Beartooth Pass at an elevation of 10,947ft and is not for the faint of heart.
Join me on a short trip on one of the most scenic mountain roads in America. See steep drop offs, tight switchbacks, vast overlooks, glacial lakes and see the summit from hundreds of feet above from a drone. In 4k.
And check out Grand Adventure's trip to the Beartooth Highway and the weather he faced in the middle of June. • Ep. 45: Beartooth High...

Thank you for sharing : Like 198 for you : I wish you a wonderful day
Thank you, Marcin! I hope you can visit Montana someday!
PHEW, love to bike that Queen of roads one more time! Drop dead gorgeous road and well maintained! Everyone should drive this! Thanks for the memories! :-)
I agree! I f you ever get the chance, I hope you'll document it for others. Thanks for coming along, James!
Thank you for a beatutiful video. Great drive - I checked it on my bucket list late September 2022. Really beautiful and not scary at all - and not crowded at that time of the year.
Glad you enjoyed it! Not having a lot of traffic helps, too, as does having so many viewpoints. Thanks for coming along, Jim!
Traveled this with my 17 year old daughter on a Harley in August 2018. The BEST road trip ever. Bear Tooth is the nicest road I’ve been on bar none.
I agree. The road is in good condition, lots of pull outs. When you went in August, was the peak vacation traffic over?
Those drone shots were absolutely fantastic. Heading there over the summer.
Thanks for the visit and kind words, Scott! I hope you have a great trip and that you're able to take your time, especially around the pass!
A tip of the hat to our forebears for having the guts to build something like this.
I'd love to see a documentary about it, that's for sure. Thanks for coming along, Paul!
Nice footage!
Thank you for sharing!
Glad you came along, Snappy!
Been there, well done video, good choice of clips, mixed with drone shots. Nice music.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate that! It's one of the best drives in US, that's for sure.
Absolutely amazing landscapes.😊👍
Thank you, Jari. There is something special about driving and flying at 3300m of elevation. I appreciate your support over the last year and wish you a safe and healthy 2023!
That's a really beautiful landscape and panorama view!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful video!
Fully watched as always
See you again
Thank you! This is my second most popular video but the editing is fairly cringeworthy. I re-edited it but the new version isn't as popular. Have you even been to Yellowstone or Grand Tetons?
@@MainlightDrone none of those place visited
Been on this pass many times. The last time we went was after our springer spaniel passed, his name was Toby we took our last trip. We went to the top and let some of his fur sail we both clapped and clapped. Toby was finally free
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story, Beverly!
It was a wonderful site
Just got suggested this, glad I watched it - great mountain views!
Thank you! This is one of earliest videos. I appreciate your support!
looks brilliant here!
It's definitely a trip to consider if you ever visit the Yellowstone area! Thanks for the visit!
Wow this is amazing road 😊 fun to drive Sporty 😊
Miles and miles of extremely fun and scenic driving! Thanks for the visit, AP!
Another full watch for you Mainlight. Some amazing scenery with the mountains and snow tops etc. Makes Huddersfield look boring lol
Thanks! This one is my second most popular for some reason. I redid this one too, as I got better at it, but it never took off. lol Flying at 3337m was pretty cool!
@@MainlightDrone It’s a great vid and weird how it didn’t explode like the other one. I am filming this weekend as I have sat,sun and mon off and have an idea that I am going to try that hasn’t been done before and hope it takes off as a trend. It’s worth a go and if it does crap it does crap lol and will try something different lol. Imagine the scene from Bluesbrothers where Carrie Fisher has just used the rocket launcher on the apartment where the brothers and cops all fall through the floor and then start to move around afterwards, the sounds of the bricks shuffling, they stand up and pick rubble off themselves and dust themselves off on their shoulders. Then look at the watch and say were late for work and walk off like nothings happened. That’s me LOL
@@flywithmetrevor I know the Blues Brothers well, of course, coming from Chicago. They filmed several scenes just a few blocks from my house and it was a big deal at the time. I still daily use phrases from the movie. I hope your shooting projects turn out well. BTW, if you need some inspiration check out Ted Nemeth's channel! www.youtube.com/@TedNemeth
@@MainlightDrone That’s ace it’s one of my favourite movies apart from all those classic cars smashed lol but very entertaining lol. Thanks for that I have just subscribed to Teds channel.
I have been over the Beartooth in both directions several times and I regard it as one of the most beautiful places in America. Coming up from Cody, on the Clark Fork Highway is a little easier than going through Yellowstone Park, with its 45 mph speed limit.
I totally agree with you. It's worth it to drive out of your way just to experience this road. Thank you for watching and for your nice comment!
I was the navagator for that part of our trip to Yellowstone. My wife was driving the Vette. Great scenery. Loved the way the vegetation changed with altitude.
It would be fun to drive in the shoulder seasons when there's less traffic. When we head out that way, we go out of our way to drive the Beartooth Highway.
Been over this pass on a heavily loaded mtn bike with front/rear panniers along with a trailer equipped with a drag brake. It was by far the most dangerous pass I've ever been on while most scenic. Been bike touring for 40 yrs. Most memorable ✨ for sure.
I checked to see if you had a UA-cam channel because that is something I would have liked to see! Thanks for watching and the nice comment!
Thank you mainline photo!
You did such an excellent video. I keep watching it in awe loving the 🎶. Such great memory. Was so scared 😨 riding down as at top I ran into a t storm with lighting /hail where I cringed to a reflective road side marker under a tarp freezing in low 50'sF waiting for it to pass. Periods of showers and wind. Rim brakes adequate only with alot of attention and good blend of fear. Stayed the night in Red Lodge with a fellow co worker of years gone by. Ended my tour in Bozeman. Wanna ride down from.Yellowknife, NT Canada 🇨🇦 but may have to wait another year due to c19.
Again, you created an awesome video. Much appreciated 🙏!!!
I recorded all on a gopro but need to learn to create a youbtube account to upload. Very dramatic.
@@jimlegalley6656 Hey, Jim, this was one of my earliest videos when I was still learning Filmora. The editing could be better. Now you got me really wanting to see your footage! I'd love to help you turn that Go Pro footage into a video. Or if you want to try to do it yourself, try the trial Wondershare Filmora editor. Either way, let me know if I can help! Christian
@@MainlightDrone
I mainline!
I just retired very active 🏊♂️ and cycling though. Need to work through my projects needing to post that almost 1 hr 20 min I believe descent into red lodge. I am new to this stuff. I tour to be outside, sleep on the ground and to photograph like you. An obsession of sorts and spiritual too. Got 30 bikes. Live in Bellingham, WA just south of Vancouver, BC.
We need to talk!!!
Thanks much!!
Jim-
@@jimlegalley6656 Hi Jim, my name is Christian. Email me at chkprohaska@gmail.com.
awesome video!
Thank you! This is quite the road to travel. Interestingly, its highest point that you can drive is 6m shorter than the highest point in the Dolomites.
@@MainlightDrone thank you for your reply; have a wonderful weekend 😊
Wow, I definitely wish I had some views like this near me. Great video!
Thanks, Will! How long have you lived in Thailand?
@@MainlightDrone going on 14 years😀
Awesome footage - lovely location
Thank you! This road is one of the best in the U.S.!
Great video 😊😊😊
Thank you, Jean! This road is quite the adventure!
IMO it's only scary if icy. Beautiful for sure! If you want a scary highway check out Million Dollar Highway in SW CO.
It really can be! I did a video on the Million Dollar Highway, too. ua-cam.com/video/TWv63cWosTA/v-deo.html Thanks for the visit and comment!
@@MainlightDrone Cool! Have you done any of the passes down there? Like Black Bear or Engineer?
@@debbiemurray4595 I can't remember! It's been a few since we've been out there.
@@MainlightDrone You'd remember. Not highways...high mountain passes. Jeep roads. : )
@@debbiemurray4595 Then no. The scariest road we ever went on was Mosquito Pass near Leadville, CO. That was a rough one!
Beautiful aerial photos
Thanks for watching and for your nice comment, JT!
Awesome scenery, nicely filmed as always.
For some reason, this is my second most popular video. I redid it, fixed some editing issues but the redo hasn't caught on lie this one. Still, grateful for the visit!
I think this is beautiful! Thank goodness there is a guardrail though! Looks like you were up high!
It was like 10,000ft at the top. I shot it with the Mavic Air and it did fine.
Looks beautiful but actually it is scary road at winter time.
The road is closed in the winter. It would be impossible to keep open. Thanks for coming along!
I adore roads like this! The US is a beautiful country! 💪
And the best part is there are no drone restrictions! It's a great road in good shape. Maybe a little congested at times. Everything from bikes to motorcycles, car to semi tractor trailers and RVs use the road.
@@MainlightDrone I hope it stays that way!
Very nice video
Thank you, Ener!
White knuckle fun driving
Thanks for watching!
Definitely beautifull 😀🙂
Yes! Thank you! Flying at 3337m was something amazing!
My question is - if I'm driving it in July, will there be folks riding my tail if I drive those switchbacks slow? I guess since it's purely scenic, not really commuter, folks will be better natured?
I've taken this road at least half a dozen times and I've never felt people being rude or in a huge hurry. There are lots of places to pull over. That said, going down may be a little different because you don't want to ride your brakes. I think the majority of people just want to enjoy the road. I hope your experience is good too!
Pick your time. Traffic is heaviest between mid-morning and late afternoon. Aim for just after daylight and you'll be fine. It is worth the minimal inconvenience.
You've gotta love Montana. My one regret is not having my drones when I was doing a run to the pnw. I'm sure I'll get another opportunity.
This is one of my earliest drone videos and I sure wish I could go back with the Mini 2!
Nice drone footage 👌👍
Thank you! This is quite the drive. Totally worth it if you like driving super high in the mountains!
Thanks…. We will do this “ BEARTOOTH ROAD DRIVE” soon….. as just up in HELENA……
Glad you came along! I wonder what the snow's been like this winter. You're sure to have plenty of snow when you go.
Scary or beautiful... Yes...
There are very many places to pull off and the road is in good shape. Even when traffic is heavy, it's totally worth it to approach Yellowstone from the east. Thanks for coming along!
Beartooth Pass Highway is NOT scary at all compared to Red Mountain Pass in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Beartooth Pass HAS GUARDRAILS, Red Mountain Pass has hardly any GUARDRAILS at all in it's 26 mile highway. About 3 to 4 miles south of Ouray(pronounced U-ray, named after a Ute Native American Indian Chief) where's NO GUARDRAILS, it drops off to about 800 FEET DOWN to the river gorge below. The highest avalanche paths per mile in all of Canada and the United States there. Rock and mud slides happen. Deer, mountain sheep and goats to avoid there. There's a 8% road grade increase going south from Ouray. All these factors make this the most dangerous paved mountain pass highway in all of Canada and the United States combined. I heard this winter that this Pass is the tenth most dangerous pass worldwide. A semi-truck driver that goes by UA-cam channel name of Riding Shotgun has driven mostly west of St. Louis, Missouri. He has driven across this pass in different seasons. There's no GUARDRAILS because alot places there's no room to put in GUARDRAILS. Also the highway department can't get snow, rock and tree debris from avalanches off the highway with GUARDRAILS. It's beautiful scenery but dangerous.
Thanks for your great comment. I don't find it scary either especially against other roads we've been on as well. I've been to Riding Shotgun's channel. He has some great stuff. Have you even been on Mosquito Pass that goes from Fairplay to Leadville?
This is one of the most beautiful roads in the U.S. Just be careful on it.
It has lots of safe pullouts.
Drove the road back in June, totally ruined it since the last time I drove it back in 2013,get rid of that ski lift,put it back to cars and pickups only,no campers or trailers.
Glad you made it back ok. Thanks for the visit.
Brave Bicyclists!!!
Would you be brave enough to ride yours here? Thank you for visiting and commenting.
Not safe for bicycling
I agree. Too many blind turns and cars going too fast.
