Beartooth Pass, WY-MT

Great view along the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway, WY Rt 296.

June 25-27, 2021

After getting the genset repaired in Cody, WY on June 26 I drove the RV up the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and across the Beartooth Highway through the Beartooth Pass.  A challenging, yet gorgeous wilderness road.  It closely followed the trek of the Nez Perce tribe as they tried to escape the US Cavalry in 1877.

You can see a L-O-N-G way from 10,000+ feet elevation.

Even in July, there is a lot of snow at 10,000+ feet.

It was 79F when departing Cody,
now 46F at 10,000 Feet.

This sign greeted me as I crested

Great bike ride June 22 morning, south of Jackson, WY then a very rough, bouncy, rocky, dusty, s-l-o-w climb to a campsite with one of the best views I've ever enjoyed!  Kelly VI (my RV) & I at 7370 feet above sea level.

My campsite. If I walk more than two feet in any direction,
I'm going down a very steep slope. I'm glad the brakes work!

This is directly behind my RV. It's a steep drop in all directions.

Hail storm on the mountain

Those white dots on the ground are the
hail from a brief storm at 7300' elevation.

zoom into the far right, you'll see a large river raft.
