Great, I am in the early stages of planning a 10-12 day ride and would like to include it in my plans.

Spent yesterday fishing in Rock Creekat the bottom of the Pass -
I fish Rock Creek every time I am up there. We usually plan our trips so that we spend one night in Red Lodge. Wife shops, I fish.

Beartooth Pass on the way into Red Lodge.

Went over the pass on Aug 3rd of last yr, it was sleeting on top and 90 degrees plus on the bottom. It is a MUST do ride.

It's a pretty good idea to check the weather forecast before heading up and over the pass. Though the weather may be getting ready to change in Sept.- Oct., a warm day up there then with most touristas gone is a piece of heaven. For those reasons, Yellowstone (enter at Cooke City)is also at its best then.

When the snow finally closes it, then it's done til the next late-May.

Also, check your WY map for the Chief Joseph Highway. Also outstanding and joins up with the Beartooth Highway if you come in from the South via Cody.
