Beartooth Pass con't

The lake photo was taken on the Cooke City side of the pass as we were heading down towards Cooke City. What an awesome scene. The last photo is of the red rocks on the east side of the Absaroka/Beartooth Mountains driving down towards the plains between Cody and Billings. It is a whole different scene and things get quite arid. However, as you can see, conditions are still very green and lush and was like that throughout the trip. However, things will be drying out very quickly.

Beartooth Pass con't

Had to have a photo of holding a snowball in June. Boy, that snow is COLD and make's one's bones hurt (elbows that is). This was not at the top yet but at the ski run that is usually open during the month of June but it was already closed.

Beartooth Pass

Mom and I took a drive to Cooke City via the Beartooth Pass this past Tuesday. What a beautiful day for a drive. Not a cloud in the sky except for a few cirrus. As is usually the case,
there was very little traffic between Red Lodge and Cooke City over the Pass. Our destination
was lunch at the Beartooth Cafe in Cooke City. As always, great food, service and prices! Oh,
they also have over 100 bottles of beer. But since I was driving through the mountains, I played
it safe with Pepsi! We came back home heading back up the pass but then took the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. It is a totally different drive but well worth it.
