Over the years I have made quite a few tours on motorcyles.
I have looked through this section and didn't see anything posted about this ride and it's one of my favorites so I thought I'd throw it up.
Hwy 212 is one of the east gates into Yellowstone it starts in Redlodge Mt. a ski town at modest elevation. Then the climb begins, switch backs till your dizzy then a pull out at about 7500 ft. a stunning overlook! After such a steep climb I felt like it flattened out but we were still climbing. We were there in late july and it had snowed the day before! The poles are along the road to tell the snow plow where the road is and how deep the snow is! The road isn't open year round and tops out at about 11,000ft!!
Not the highest pavement in the US but close. As the road desends the trees water and colors all seem as though from another land, I was awestruck! If your gonin to Yellowstone,,,,,Don't miss it!!
