Beartooth Highway and Yellowstone Park

 Thursday, August 29, 2013.  We drove home by way of the Beartooth Highway and Yellowstone Park.  This pass has more switch backs than any pass I know of.  But it is a beautiful drive.  Most of the time you can only go about 25 miles per hour.
 Up on top there were still lots of wild flowers in bloom.
 We had to stop and wait for road construction up on top also.  There was only 1 lane so our wait was quite long.  The car in front of us was very entertaining.  Notice the costume and all.
 Also while we were waiting a young man peed between the vehicle and trailer and then a young lady did the same thing.  Only in Montana.  I waited and did it the right way even though it was a gross out house.
 Beautiful pictures from up on top.
 Cooke City is a fun little city to visit.  We ate at a Bistro that was very good.
We entered the park from the Northeast corner and came out at the West entrance.  You can only go 45 miles per hour through the park so it was a long day but we saw lots of beautiful scenery and lots of buffalo coming home this way.  But it is always good to be home when you have driven that much in 3 days.
