We’re Number Two! We’re Number Two!

On Day Nine of our trip, today’s ride is the shortest yet. From Billings to Cody, Wyoming — where our day ends, it’s only 174 miles. But along the way, we experience the #2 ride on my Top Ten List — the Beartooth Highway and Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. In Red Lodge, our final Montana stop, we begin the journey up to 10,947-foot Beartooth Pass, described by Charles Kuralt as “the most beautiful drive in America.” Then, we join the Chief Joseph Highway, which takes us through the Absaroka Mountains and into Cody, home of the Buffalo Bill Museum.

Third time I’ve been on the Beartooth Highway. Today was the first time it didn’t rain.
Beartooth Highway is the hardest, most difficult road I’ve ever ridden. On a trike like Clarence’s, it’s a full-on upper body workout. If Clarence wasn’t in shape before, he is now.
WTFO, Mark Mark?
We turned off of the Beartooth Highway onto the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. The CJSH was awesome, too.
Clarence has become quite fond of Walter Jr.
And yet … Walter Jr feels most at home on my Harley.

Ice cream was a nice treat to end the day.

  1. Beartooth Highway without rain, fog, construction? So wish I was there this time! But those were still good times.
