TomTracer Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 One of my favorite rides is Cody, WY, Chief Joseph Highway to Beartooth Pass, and Red Lodge. Have ridden that probably 10-12 times. Froze my arse a couple times. 6' drifts along the road, snow, rain, you name it. A couple of buddies have passed since we rode it. Was gonna do a remembrance ride. One guy got so cold he couldnt open his zipper at the downside restroom over the summit. We all laughed so hard, not him though. Some things a guy has to figure out on his own.This year the road opened early but then closed due to road washout from the rains that hit Yellowstone. Dang. Chief Joseph is a hoot to race through. Memories!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespz03 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Sorry for your loss! Drove that in my truck but decided on not towing up or down it. It's very beautiful country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisperquiet Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) We left Cody about ten years ago in 70 degree weather and it started raining as we started on the Chief Joseph Hwy. Rain coats were put on and as we continued to the Beartooth it began to sleet and then snow heavily as the temperature dropped into the high 30s. The pavement was just wet and as we rode into Red Lodge all of our bikes had about 1” of snow on the windshields/front. It didn’t last long as it was sunny and warm in Red Lodge. It is a shame that area incurred such weather related damage. Edited June 24, 2022 by whisperquiet 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted June 24, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted June 24, 2022 Beartooth is such an EPIC ride, literally on top of the world, and the ride into Cody is amazing as well… of course from there you continue across the Bighorn Mountains. 👍🏻 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
