Oh boy! Does your video bring back memories! My hubby and I have been to all of the spots you showcased in this video, including Devil's Canyon. We RV camped in the Big Horn National Recreation Area, plus also at Dead Swede Campground atop the Big Horn Mountains. Didn't take too much time to enjoy driving over the Beartooth Pass, since we accidentally got on the road with our 30' RV leaving the NW entrance of Yellowstone. We consider that our BIGGEST RV mistake EVER! We didn't know if we'd run out of gas or go backwards down the mountain due to the transmission failing on our truck . . . or come barreling into Red Lodge, MT due to brake failure! LOL! Since I am the navigator, boy, did I owe hubby a beer after that experience! Ha! Next time we visit - we will be sure to drop the RV off so we can enjoy all of those many mountain lakes and pull-offs. Loving the quick turn-around time on your videos! Thanks!

Have lived and driven many beautiful places, from desert to mountains to oceans (many you have shown) over the years but Beartooth is still my favorite. (Back in the 60's the glaciers were bigger and there were no guard rails!)

Other spectacular drives: Hwy61 between Deluth MN to Canada along Lake Superior (especially with fall colors). Another beautiful drive is from Ashton ID to Driggs in June when the rolling hills are emerald green with snow capped Tetons behind.

Beautiful! Another good one is Hwy. 395 in California, on the eastern side of the Sierras. That one also has the Japanese internment camp Manzanar, just north of Lone Pine. I had no idea about this part of our history until folks I was camped with at Alabama Hills invited me along to visit the Manzanar National Monument. The most ugly thing in the most beautiful of places. Sad.

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

They confiscated their homes, businesses, and property too. Shameful.

[@carolinamay8328]

I agree. Driving out of Death Valley in March along along 190 and then 136 gives one the incredible view of the length of the eastern side of the Sierras when they are still snow-capped and when the desert is blooming. And when the sky is still clear and blue. Breathtaking. This isn't a mountain drive but it certainly gives an incredible view of those mountains. Also, this is beautiful in the fall when the aspens are golden.

395 is my favorite drive. I never get tired of driving on 395 and exploring the side roads that go to places like Kennedy Meadows, Horseshoe Meadows, Lake Sabrina, June Lake and Virginia Lakes. Oh, and the Bristlecone Pine Forest and Mono Lake. The East Asians in America were the most actively hated minority because of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the Constitution (legalized discrimination, how can you even do that???) and the only group to be sent to "concentration" camps just because of their ethnic origin. While the Nazis in Germany were doing that to the Jews, here in America the same was being done to the Japanese. So shameful, and yet most people know little to nothing about one of the darkest past in America's history.

Another great video, Tristan. My wife and I were just in Cody, WY for a few days and spent some time at Heart Mountain--glad you included it in the video. We've been to two other internment camps (there were 10) and this is the most developed that we've found. Worth the stop but skip the tour of the restored housing block--not worth the time as most time wasn't spent talking about Heart Mountain. We've driven the Beartooth Highway previously and it's spectacular. On our recent trip, we drive the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway from west to east. While a different drive, it was well worth doing and I'd do it again. It's mostly down a wonderfully carved valley but ends (going west to east again) with a great winding road over Dead Indian Hill (according to the road sign, it was named this because Chief Joseph's band left an injured warrior of their group at the top of the hill as they were fleeing the army and the army killed the man). It's a great drive. The whole Bighorn Basin is wonderful and worth a multi-day visit.

The Japanese side of my wife's family was sent to the internment camp at Gila River in Arizona. They had to move from San Francisco and ultimately were able to leave the camp early and settle in Salt Lake City because they had a 'sponsor' family. As far as roads go, you mentioned rt. 12 in Southern Utah, the Hogback, that's definitely high on my list. Several of the roads along the Hudson River including rt. 218 on the West side and rt. 202/6 on the East side are pretty spectacular.

[@geosophik9369]

"Concentration" camps. One of the most shameful parts of American history. East Asians were the most hated minority group because of the Chinese exclusion act in the very own Constitution, and the only group to be sent to concentration camps. Totally agree. RT 12 is probably the most beautiful road, in my opinion, because it has a variety of landscapes from Alpine forest to desert, and amazing red rock formations.

Ah well next time, we been in YNP many times and are still not close to exploring the place. Lamar was packed with critters, six big herds of Bisons, Anteplope herds, Coyote, and maybe a distant Griz. Went to the Sawtooths and the smoke was bad there, seems like something always happens at Stanley, heavy rain, smoke and so on. We spent 4 days there.

About 3 years ago we were at that promontory overlooking the lakes just north of the pass and there were several herds of white shaggy mountain goats walking around there.

As for my favorite scenic drive, it has to be the day where I did Badlands, Mt Rushmore, The Black Hills, and Devils Tower.

I used to own a Rialta QD model. The common problem areas for leaking roofs are the joint between the cab and cabin shell (those joining screws loosen or just rust away) and the fore to aft roof seam on the cab roof. The 2 aluminum pieces tend to flex and separate. Many Rialta owners wind up using Eternabond tape along that entire seam to allow roof flexing without leaking. There are several active Rialta owners groups that post technical/restoration issues and solutions.

[@TomReichner]

It is interesting to me that at 13:55, you called Beartooth Pass "... a miserable place; bleak". To me, those areas up above the trees, with wide open expanses of rocky tundra, are a spectacular wonderland of natural beauty! I would much rather be up there instead of down lower where there are trees to clutter up the view.

[@peterschmit6745]

I pulled into Red Lodge on Monday, June 14, and parked the trailer at the last RV park south of town. The next morning I crossed the Beartooth and then came back in the afternoon. Going both ways I could see smoke coming up from behind a ridge. It turned out to be the Robertson draw fire. I got back to the trailer at the RV park by 3:30 PM and two hours later we all had to evacuate. Not a lot of options but to drive north towards Billings. The really pointy mountain is very cool. The Top of the World store is a must stop. It was CBS news correspondent Charles Kuralt who labelled the Beartooth the most scenic drive in America.

[@billhollinshead]

11:14 Fossils in the relatively flat lying Beartooth Butte sedimentary rocks are Devonian age (about 400 million years old). All around the Butte, the underlying rocks are Precambrian age (2.5 billion years or older). They are metamorphics or igneous rocks, and about 2 billion years has been eroded away between Beartooth Butte and the rest of the Beartooths. There are Precambrian pegmatites near the Beartooth pass that had beryl crystals that were the size of telephone poles. As you leave the Beartooths and just before you enter Red Lodge, (near the Yellowstone Bighorn Research Association/YBRA turn off), the range front has vertical fetid dolomite beds that look like the plates of giant stegosaurs. That dolomite is roughly the same age as the Beartooth Butte's rocks, but the beds are vertical. As the Beartooths rose over 2 miles, the Devonian and younger rocks near its range front were thrusted up and pushed aside. 14:29 The U shaped valley is due glacial erosion during the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago. 21:05 The Smith graveyard, on the other side of the road from the mine, just past you were walking, has headstones with porcelain daguerreotypes of miners who died in the disaster. Some of the epitaphs are in Cyrillic, reflecting the fact that many of the miners were immigrants.

One of those brothers was borned at this camp My Dad said he was allowed off the camp during the day to provide labor to the surrounding ranches due to the lack of working men. I asked my Dad how he felt being uprooted in the midst of WWII. He honestly said he would have probably endured unearned spiteful treatment, so Dad's thinking was to make lemonade out of the situation. While I have only been to the west side of Yellowstone, me thinks that there is much to experience to the east. Keep up the good work, Tristan.-Larry K.

We were in Glacier yesterday and are now near Whitehall, MT, headed towards Yellowstone in a couple days. I’m going to look at the coordinates you’ve posted and see what we can add. May have to make sure to hit Long Lake.

Except for the haze, these views are amazing.

My FAVORITE Scenic Drive is I-84 East, the Columbia River Gorge, between Troutdale and The Dalles in Oregon. If you have time, Include the Old scenic byway between Troutdale and Aninsworth, to see Crown Point and all the Waterfalls upclose; then getting back on I-84. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Beartooth pass ranks up there at the top. I'm a little bias about Hwy 12, because I love southern Utah so much and it never gets old. I tell everyone who is going to southern Utah to do Hwy 12. Coastal drives in California, Oregon and Washington are up there also. Going to the sun Hwy was fantastic and scary the first time over it but became pretty easy after the fifth time but still breath taking. The pass in Rocky Mountain National Park is at the top of the list, that whole park is breath taking. Just to many to pick one that is the best. Its nice to see all those places though other peoples eyes and you did a great job on Beartooth even with the smoky views. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next video. Wasn't Big Horn Canyon a surprise. We were told about it and were shocked to see such a beautiful place. Well worth the short ride up the road.

The drive from glacier to Spokane is incredible beautiful as well I think maps takes you through some remote roads
