Beartooth Highway


Oh I love it every year when we get in the car and take our weekend drive up over the Beartooth Highway between Red Lodge and Cooke City, Montana. It is always my favorite way into Yellowstone Park because it is the most BEAUTIFUL place in the world. There is nothing better than the drive up the switchbacks of the mountain and crossing over the top and than winding down the other side. I love stopping to look at all the beautiful scenery along the way and the low valleys filled with ice cold water from the moutain snow. We were all disappointed because there was no snow low enough to get to this year for a snowball fight. Last year it was perfect to have a snowball fight. It is amazing how hot (about 90 degrees) it is at the bottom of the hill and by the time you get to the top we are all grabing sweatshirts and blankets to cover up our legs because it is probably in the low 40's up on top.

What a great weekend to just be with nature.
