Driving the Beartooth Highway, US 212.

OK, so you think you have a powerful RV that can pull the hills, right? Then here is your test! To read about this drive, check out this article in Wikipedia.

The road is a two lane blacktop that runs from Laurel, MT to Gardiner, MT. Altitudes range from about 6000 feet to 10970 feet. Grades run 7% or so. The last part is dipping into Yellowstone National Park. Animals abound. We shared the road with this Bison...

By the time we rolled into Yellowstone RV Park just outside the North Entrance, we were ready for a break. Tomorrow, Yellowstone!
