Beartooth Highway

Hi All,

Friday we drove the Beartooth Highway from Cooke City to Red Lodge, MT and back. (64 miles and 82 switchbacks each way).

We think the is the "Bear Tooth". If it isn't, it should be!

Nearing the top, the horizon is lined with snow capped mountains.

Beartooth Lake was a tranquil spot.

Above 9,000 feet there were frequent patches of snow that someone had used to build a small snowman. Check out the switchbacks coming up the hill.

Near the summit we spotted this ancient pine tree.

Canyons and small glacial lakes off to the horizon.

Here's the pass at 10,947 feet. One of the highest roads in the lower 48.

Today we drove home through Yellowstone. Along the way we saw grizzly bears, black bears, big horn sheep, elk, deer, coyote and hundreds of bison.

Tomorrow we are back to "work".

Love,
