After a good nights sleep in Essex, MT I took 89 south the Great Falls, 15 south to Helena then 287 down to Three Forks, MT for the evening.

 

From Three Forks, MT I went east on 90 to MT 78 into Red Lodge, MT. South on 212 AKA Beartooth Highway then onto Chief Joseph Highway into Cody, WY.

From Cody, WY I went west into Yellowstone then south to Grand Teton NP finally making it to Riverton, WY for the evening.

 

Wow, you've taken some beautiful pictures here. Great ride! I've been through some of these parts. I'm sitting here sipping my coffee...wishing I could hit the road. Thanks for the write up and pics.
