...A Drive Up On the Beartooth-Highway!
...Howdy, Pardners!... :cowboy:
...Last week I took a few days to drive the very scenic Beartooth-Highway...
...The Beartooth-Highway:...considered by many the most scenic highway in America...it is only 60-miles long, starts in Red-Lodge and ends in Cooke-City...going from 5,500-foot elevation on up to 11,000-feet and back down again...
...I have been there several times over the past 5 years...and altho we have some haze from fire-smoke at this time of the year...it was much better than the last few...
...Every time I return...I am once again Awed by the Beauty and Majesty of this entire area...and can't wait to go back again soon!..so here are some photos:
