I'm not familiar with where that is. That looks like a truly amazing ride. I would like to do it someday

One of the most breathtaking, awe-inspiring roads I've ever ridden.

I've ridden it twice. Had snow fall on us in mid August up there.
Did you go as far as The Chief Joseph Pass?

Probably one of the most awesome places on Earth! I've ridden it several times. Going back to ride it again next summer (on my Harley of course).

Been in 35 states and this was probably my favorite road. In 2009 I rode the Chief Joseph hwy out of Cody to the BTP, and then into Yellowstone via small portion of the BTH.
I returned in 2010 and rode from Red Lodge to the CJH back down into Cody. The ride and the scenery are awesome a must ride.

I got a kick out of that little "Top of the World" store!!! Got a bottle of water and a fridge magnet for the wife there.

Black Hills
Badlands
Bighorn
Beartooth
Yellowstone
Cascades

When I went to Sturgis this year, I first rode from NC to Cooke City, MT and then back to Sturgis via the Beartooth Hwy (an item on my bucket list).

All I can say is, if I had just ridden the Beartooth and gone straight back to NC, the trip would have been worth it. Definitely #1 on my list of roads.

BTW, the Chief Joseph's Hwy which I took on the way to Cooke City ranks #2 for me.
