These are all very nice and bring back fond memories. I have been over the highway in both directions many times. The first time was shortly after getting by driver's license at 16. The road has been rerouted and improved many times over the years and is much less challenging that it used to be.
As to when you can drive it, the summer months are indeed the best chance. It used to be that they only promised to ty to keep it open between Memorial Dan and Labor Day. I don't know what the current expectations are. I have been snowed-in in Cooke City in the middle of August. Before they built the permanent ski lift, I would see people drive the jeeps off the roadway and use the front winch to create a towrope for a ski trail.

What a Great set of pics... I remember this drive as a gorgeous way to approach Yellowstone from Red Lodge.... I remembered the large white boulders immediately on seeing your clicks... I also think drive to Cody through the national forest is gorgeous from East Yellowstone.
Glad I reminded you of that beautiful area, that whole area is gorgeous!
