WOW

Whilst planning our recent trip I saw many forum posts questioning whether to use valuable vacationing time on this. Do not miss this. Make the time. If you’re in Yellowstone, still make the time and go at least to Rock Creek Vista, then turn back....More

The Ultimate Drive for Road Lovers

Rated one of the best drives in America, this highway does not disappoint. If you love a great drive the road starts in the forest of Wyoming with switchbacks through alpine meadows all the way up. And then the other side is much steeper and...More

Which is the most spectacular drive, Beartooth or Chief Joseph?

Depending on the time of year or whomever you believe, either Beartooth Highway or Chief Joseph Scenic Byway is the most beautiful drive in America. Since they meet at a junction near Cooke City, Montana, the northeast gateway to Yellowstone National Park, it is convenient...More

Hi. I’m traveling to Yellowstone in July. I want to drive the Beartooth Highway. If I want to leave Lake area and end up in Bozeman, how long a drive would it be? I would do this in my last day with no urgency since flight would leave the next day.

Totally agree on the needing plenty time. You are travelling in the right month for daylight. You will be surprised how often you stop. It doesn't look too far on a map but with the twists and turns it takes time. Enjoy.
