Default Riding To Big Sky Country

I recently took a trip up to Montana from San Diego. On the way there I saw Lake Tahoe, rode across the "Loneliest Road In America" U.S. Route 50 in Nevada, saw the Bonneville Salt Flats and then got to Yellowstone and rode the Beartooth Highway.

One the way back I went through Grand Teton and Zion National Park. It was a great ride that kept me on the road for a few days. If you'd like, you can read the journal I kept while on the road and put on Medium. https://medium.com/two-wheels/riding...y-afd4da167fd9

Here's a picture from the Beartooth Highway which has to be one of the best roads I've ever been on.

Awesome trip photos and write-up. You set a high standard in the journal. We hit some of those places on our Sturgis trip. Very beautiful and unique parts of our country.

This guy is sorry he missed you.

I tried not to look him in the eye in this picture, as we were stopped due to idiot cagers. This was in Yellowstone, just West of Fishing Bridge.

Wow! Nice format and great pics and report! I spent some time on the Beartooth last summer. It is unforgettable.

Hahaha! I saw a few of those guys lumbering around. There had to of been hundreds if not thousands there. Here a few pics I took of those guys. I didn't get as close as you did though.
