Hats off to hard working plow drivers up in Montana who have been blowing snow all spring to open that 69 mile strip of US-212 between Red Lodge and Cooke City that some call “the most beautiful drive in America.” If you’ve never had the pleasure of driving it, I highly recommend:
“Heads Up! Weather-permitting, the Beartooth Highway (US-212) between Red Lodge, Montana, and Cooke City, Montana, will open May 28, 2021, at 8 am. Conditions can change quickly, especially during spring and fall, and roads can temporarily close due to poor driving conditions. Plan to have alternate routes for travel should the highway close. Check the Montana Department of Transportation and WYOMING DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION websites for road updates and status of the Beartooth Highway throughout the summer.”
