Couldn't find the pass, but saw the highway (212 - closed in winter) - looks rugged.


You pick up the Beartooth out of the north entrance of Yellowstone. Yes, it is closed in winter and you can expect snow in July at times. The Chief Joseph comes out of Cody heading into Yellowstone and is another beautiful area. Don't forget Glacier! Lot's to photograph out west. One of our favorite states to visit and shoot.

Was it easy mapping out a route on Google? ake.


I use My Google Maps. https://www.google.com/maps/about/mymaps/
Takes some tinkering but well worth it. It's almost like creating layers. When we start planning a trip I first search for interesting places, like Devils tower, Wall Drugs, Yellowstone. When I get a bunch on the map then I start planning the route. Been doing it for about 5 years now, about 20 trips, at least. The nice thing is that I can view it on a laptop, tablet or even android phone.

PM me if you want me to walk you through it.

Remember that Montana is almost 550 miles across. Imho you must see Glacier park and Yellowstone park. Totally different experiences. The problem is that they are not a short detour. Just going from one side of the park to the other and back, which is very common, will take a good portion of the day if you stop at even a few of the vista points. I spent an entire summer working and playing in Glacier and hardly scratched the surface. It is not a couple hour side trip. Physically you are closest to Glacier when you are in Missoula. Going up the Mission and Flathead valleys next to the Mission mountains is wonderful scenery. Yellowstone is also a must see. Geysers in abundance greater than any where else on earth. They both support large tourist crowds but that is because of the tremendous beauty of the areas. I have no idea of your interests so can't say much about other things you want to see, but The state is the size of the entire country of Germany, with a population far less than 1/2 of the St Louis metro area. I travel by motorcycle and enjoy the challenge of route finding so if you want to PM me I've got some opinions on other places to see in the Big Sky State.
As regards Beartooth Pass, it is almost always open by the middle of May.
