This Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone National Park is the least traveled, bringing just a few hundred cars over every year. The Beartooth Highway is only opened 4.5 months of the year, from the end of May until mid-October.


Beartooth Pass
© Vertical Media The first 15 miles out of Red Lodge takes you from the canyon floor and climbs almost 4,000 feet in elevation, taking you past Precambrian rock slides and red and yellow rock outcroppings. Expect hairpin curves, U-curves, and sinuous S-curves in the road as you climb to the canyon rim past forests, rugged cliffs, pristine lakes, mountain peaks, alpine tundra, and snow banks even in August. At 45 miles in length, you will cross the highest point in the Beartooth Highway at 10,974. Here, you leave Montana and enter Wyoming. The descent takes you along switchbacks which meander through rolling hills saturated with lakes, forests, and wildlife.

hey tom update the list, soudns like the head is in

 

i hope the turttle is ready for this

 

 

well that was quick on ups's part. i was talking to people about the beartooth pass and hotels in west yellowstone, but in livingston they have chico hot springs, and you can rent the 17 person cabin if you let them know ahead of time, figured that be cheaper than western yellowstone hotel room sounds like $120 a night in western yellowstone or something like that, just an idea whats everyone think??

 

sounds okay to me. Get more info and price per person...maybe start a list of those staying in the cabin. Im down though.

 

for me getting a DA integra

 

 

bump cus it's gonna be a lot of fun

 

well heres a rundown on what we are looking at for June at Chico

Chalet has 10 beds and not alot of other stuff and cost $229

What they call the side bedroom, its mainly a cabin/house has 11 beds and couches and that costs $345


the Cabin/ house is available June 5 6 20 28

then the Chalet is available June 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15 20 21 28

so im down to do get there on the 20th and do the cabin house, we have nine right now to chip in, and i will prolly bring a friend, and im sure others will to so for for 10 people thats only $34.50 not bad in my book, sounds like a killer party

 

oh yeah people let me know asap, if u want me to reserve it, that thing is already booked the way it is, so cast your vote for what day im going with 20th

 

put me down for 2 beds.
although...do you think its a good idea to do it during the work week? That might decrease the number of people coming.
