Beartooth, Chief Joseph Hwy, Lolo Pass,

the Grand Teton's and Yellowstone Nat'l Park, again!

Took an extended weekend and went for a ride. 1,485 miles in 2.5 days.

Thursday evening, Teton Village Wyoming. The hotel in the background where I stayed had heated tiles in the bathroom.



Grand Teton National Park. If you pay to go through either Yellowstone or the Teton, it's good for both parks.



I've now ridden and entered or exited through all of the Yellowstone entrances, except the north. I have found that the east entrance is the best. The road meanders along the massive Yellowstone Lake and the road leading to the park from Cody Wy was awsome.



Lunch in Cody Wy. When in doubt, eat where the most motorcycles are parked. The historic Irma Building.



The famous Cherrywood Bar.



The ambiance in the dining room was incredible.



Last year I ranked the Rattlesnake Grade as my # 1 road. Not anymore, the Chief Joseph Scenic Bypass coupled with the Beartooth Highway that goes up to 12,000 feet is now 1 on my list.









After spending the night in Bozeman Mt. From Anaconda Mt I headed South
and went through the small town of Wisdom Mt taking Mt. Highway 43 that took me to the Big Hole National Battlefied.

Thanks to Al's Cycle in Hamilton Mt for tightening my chain, no charge! Snake River wanted to charge me $30 and set up an appointment. I ride into Al's Cycle and they got me rolling in 15 minutes.



Lunch in Lolo Mt at Kt's Hayloft.



Lolo Pass. I preferred the Montana side where the speed limit was 70 mph, and it was quite challenging to actually 70 around some of the corners. It was reduced to 50 or 55 on the Idaho side.



This took me through the Northwest Passage Scenic Highway via Id. Hwy 13, another great road. Stopped in Mcall for dinner at Steamers.



Steamers for dinner.



Actually the more pleasant part of the ride was between Cascade and Eagle (Id 55). The traffic was zero on a Saturday night, and I was able to ride along the portion that meanders the Payette River at a very brisk pace, with maybe 3-4 sets cars that I came up on which I passed. It was like my own road.

You know when you did a great job if they are still holding up with the amount of riding I do. I'm at 91k on my odometer now, or over 20k since you worked on my fork seals.
