The Beartooth Pass. Wow.

Majestic. That's just one of the words that describe the Beartooth Pass and the road from Red Lodge, MT to Cody, WY. So many spectacular and different landscapes. It's like somebody taped a post card to our helmets - and then gave us a new one every 15min. We could spend a lifetime taking pictures but we were there to ride. Also, I can't get Domingo to stop! We'll have to come back. :)

The ride starts with turns through a u-shaped valley amid snow-capped mountains with pine covered slopes. As we got up to 11,000 feet (3,m), summer still had not arrived, the many lakes were still frozen and there were people skiing. Roads were just plowed in memorial day and snow was a few feet high next to some parts of the road.

As we made it over the top, our next mountain range let itself be seen. As we started our descent, we rode through changing landscapes. Forests, valleys, canyons, amazing rock formations, etc. We arrived to Cody, WY with its drier more desert-like landscape. Exactly what I pictured a Western town like. We set up camp next to a lake. Domingo and I cooked over the camp fire while Eva, Tiberiu and Juan went to the rodeo.

Next, Yellowstone.
