[@csmith9189]

👍 Thanks again your videos are very enjoyable. Wishing you safe travels. ❤

[@billcalhoun7521]

Thank you for taking this old 90 year woman for a drive especially over bear tooth pass. 60 years ago my husband, a station wagon with 5 kids pulling a camper went over and I have never forgotten the trip.

[@bgatlin5918]

Any trip to Montana & Wy-O-Ming is wonderful! 😍❤️😍

the bison are very interesting and the scenery

[@joyceleute5700]

Beautiful video. Brought back many memories. Our family traveled the bear tooth pass in the 60s. It was in August. Yellowstone was celebrating Christmas in August. As we approached the peak, the snow was incredible. In fact, we were stuck up there. Trucks were pulling cars out. We only had a half tank of gas in the car. Dad was concerned we were going to run out. Drove down a few curves on the mountain . No snow. As we made it to Red Lodge, they heard they closed Bear tooth pass . That was an incredible adventure

[@earnestshelton3327]

We were on bear tooth mountain in 1988 loved it then to yellow stone just great remember every minute of it!

[@arunphillips6977]

Yes, it's Sat eve (here in the UK), so it's time for the next adventure...perfect Saturday evening viewing! Thanks Russ.

[@Living-N-Logs]

Red Lodge is a gem. Stayed there last summer during the 4th of July holiday…awesome parade, pure Americana 🇺🇸 The Beartooth is an absolute must do

[@JROCK54]

1000% Agree… should be on everyone’s bucket list.

[@BrendaHaltom]

Red Lodge is is a beautiful old town! Love those old buses! And the museum!!❤😂

[@johndiaz7240]

Great journey 👍 Merry Christmas

[@rvertv]

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@davidleadford6511]

Made the very same journey through Idaho in early October before they closed Beartooth Pass for the season. Only I went on into W. Yellowstone and entered the park there. What a beautiful trip. No regrets. I plan on doing a similar trip next September but driving the Chief Joseph highway this time. In June, I drove to the top of Sawtelle Peak in Island Park, always wanted to do that. That's the peak with the big golf ball on top. Actually a radome. Then went to W. Yellowstone for lunch, then visited the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, and enjoyed the wolves howling "Happy Birthday" to me.

[@Karenonflute]

I’m glad I found this video. Brings back some great memories. I used to go over the Beartooth several times for work many many years ago. I do remember that RV’s and large trucks were cautioned (maybe banned?) not to go over that highway and for good reason. But it looks like they’ve widened and smoothed the road since my day.

[@brendalogan6281]

Absolutely beautiful video. Actually, nursing a case of pneumonia, right now, with the big screen.T v in front of me, driving through montana with you.... You have inspired me to get back on the road. By the end of 2025, I wanna get a van and get back to exploring the US. i had an r v years ago, but ended up having to sell it only after two years driving cross country and working full time on the road. The best time of my life after raising the kids. I'm hoping I can finish my life out traveling the roads in enjoying the beauty of this country.

[@Elizabeth-vk4si]

I am a beach girl. This landscape makes me feel like I am visiting another planet! It's though and I thank you for showing me this.

[@leightonbrenholt1140]

THANK YOU RUSS FOR LETTING ME SEE PLACES I WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN . VERY GOOD CAMERA WORK

[@pattyvalinote4612]

Wow beautiful travels! Enjoyed this area very much! Thank you for sharing❣️

[@rvertv]

Thanks for watching!

[@yelapa999]

I can't quite remember, but I think Montana, Idaho and Wyoming have upgraded and refurbished their storyboards in recent years. Lookin' sharp! And thanks for lingering on some them long enough to check 'em out.

[@diannemc3179]

I’ve drove over the beartooths twice from Billings to Cook city. Can’t even describe how beautiful it is! Been to red lodge a couple of times. Cool town.

[@rvertv]

It truly is a beautiful drive!

[@diannemc3179]

@@rvertv yes sir. Quite a change from the Arizona desert 🌵 where I live.

[@JROCK54]

Thanks Russ for posting this video. I used to live in Billings MT and would travel the Beartooth Hwy several times a summer. We used to camp at Fox Creek campground just off the highway near Cooke City. My wife and I were in MT in May 2024 and Beartooth was closed. Glad you made the trip. Take care and God Bless

[@rvertv]

Thanks! It's a beautiful drive for sure.

[@sf55514]

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder. Give me lush tropicals roads lined with palms.

[@georgearchambault6185]

That Beartooth scenic byway was just unbelievable, so beautiful.. I'm sure a different scene in winter.. Thanks for bringing us that awesome adventure through the mountains. Keep the vids coming, I enjoy all of them... Be Crazy!!

[@rvertv]

Glad you enjoyed it! Be Crazy indeed!

[@JoeMiles-i4i]

Traveled down through there in the winter in the 18wheeler on the way from the UP of Michigan to Sacramento California. They don't use salt on that road because of Yellowstone. So the road was packed snow and ice, very rough and slippery, but we made it. Fun, fun, fun. Beautiful country.

[@jesscarey7666]

Thank you very much, Russ! Hope you have a great day, sir!

[@CatPhD]

Thank you just ain't enough to say... Great job on sharing your road adventures... Best wishes and safe travel.

cant compare to "The Road To The Sun"......but still a beautiful drive....Merry Christmas

[@Polaris58]

The Beartooth Highway has been on my list but like you said,”It’s a bit out of the way”. Montana is full of adventures that’s for sure!

[@1nonlyJolter]

Breathtaking!

[@litocruz9197]

Love all your blogs, but this one is the best-

[@kareng3847]

I am blessed to live in the great state of Montana ❤ this is my 2025 next summer trip! So excited. I'm trying to see and do as much as I can. This state is awesome and beautiful! ❤️

[@tomhendrix1]

Thanks Russ love your spin and videos on beartooth pass !! So much nice than most I’ve seen on you tube. Roxanne and I road the red cuss across glacier park on the going to the sun road in 2018. Those yellow buses at Yellowstone are like the busses at glacier. 1936 and 1937 white ‘s great ride appreciate what you do Tom

Happy holidays!

[@janwhited2954]

When i was younger, we spent many summers in the areas you have shown. Would love to go back to visit❤. Thanks for reminding me of places we've been and the wonderful memories. Just beautiful!

[@inglwud5625]

Next time take 296 chief Joseph highway to cody its very scenic too! That pointed peak was one of two, called twin peaks until the quake caused one to collapse. We take motorcycles round the bear tooth pass down 296 to Edelweiss, then Bridger back to laurel where I reside. Thanks for the show!

[@alanlough638]

Russ, I love your KZbin Channel. Your KZbin Channel is entertaining, educational, and informative. I know that you're in Quartszite Arizona during the winter. I hope that things are going well with you. I wish you safe travels and I wish you all the best. Talk soon, Alan. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rvertv]

Thanks for the kind words, Alan!

[@alanlough638]

@rvertv You're welcome, Russ! I wish you safe and Merry Christmas! I'm spending Christmas Eve with great friends of mine.

[@carolynhogarth2725]

Thank you Russ. Too cool for School is right. 74 men.wow! We had explosions in mines up here too. Jeepers human mistakes have huge consequences....our poor sons. Yikes. Take care. Love that area. We travelled Beartooth pass and never again. Merry Christmas Russ and to all people who watch you. Beautiful photography. Thanks Russ again. Big wave.

[@jeanmeyer1903]

The Beartooth hwy is fantastic Motorcycle drive. Think about that if you are thinking of going over it with anything larger than his Van.

[@briannave7326]

Interesting video, I was 19 years old at the time and don’t remember hearing about it.

[@alejack12001]

Wonderful Christmas gift this drive over Beartooth Highway. You were up higher than I have ever driven. Switch backs are hard to drive. However, the scenery was the best part of the gift. Absolutely spectacular, clear skies, little wind, and stunning views. You could make some post cards for your next newsletter. Merry Christmas to you, your family and your viewers.

[@incog99skd11]

I drove up Mt. Evans out of Denver. It's Pike's Peak's twin. The road is 14K feet at the top. On the way up the oxygen sensor on my car went off. At that altitude, I couldn't walk more than 20 feet before becoming winded. The bumper stickers said, "Got Air?"

[@rvertv]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@zephyrcalm9717]

Awesome scenery! 🌲 🌲 🌲

[@rvertv]

[@melissastivers9910]

Than you so much the places you go too I wish I could go when I retire and show everyone like you❤❤❤

[@TheShoutingGrasshopper]

Hey Russ, great riding along with you again, especially with such magnificent scenery. I don't think you can ever drive through Yellowstone without running into a "buffalo traffic jam"🙂. Coming into Red Lodge you pass the Red Box Car at about 1m 41s -- home of the best onion rings I've ever had. Glad to see the place survived the flood of '22.

[@bobcruikshank2010]

What an outstanding video, Russ! I have been following you for about five years now and this video is one of my favorites! I would love to see this area and take that drive through the pass. It reminds me of the drive I made through independence pass coming out west four years ago. Thank you for your videos! 😉

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mathewhephill8686]

What a beautiful place. Thanks

[@SugarWildflower-si4ox]

Merry Christmas and thank you for this gift. What a beautiful mountain area in the summer. Wow! 1:26:21 way up in the clouds. 😊 Snow on the mountain top at elevation 10,000 feet…

[@sueannhawkes]

Appreciate all the work you put into these videos. This was a wonderful summer trip. Especially the western states part. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you in Arizona!

[@burrcountryadventures]

I put a video up on YT when we went over the beartooth highway in the fall of this year, your video is spectacular, thanks for sharing.

[@rvertv]

very cool Merry Christmas

[@ggebhard1]

Thank you, Russ. I’m 73 and never thought I’d get to go on Bear Tooth Pass and now I have!!! I have an 18’ teardrop camper. Even that small I wouldn’t want to take it through there. It would be hard to enjoy the scenery worrying about brakes, et. I love my camper! Not worried about pulling in anywhere or where to park. There’s always a place for little old me and my tiny home! Thank you! I felt like I was sitting right next to you!! ❤ Love it!!

[@BrendaHaltom]

Bear Tooth Hwy was a beautiful drive Russ! Aren't you glad you're not alone?❤😂

[@roberthunt8883]

I moved to Cody Wy a few years ago and wanting to go over that pass. Been waiting Togo in the fall to see the tree colors.But after seeing this video and seeing there not all that many trees up I think I’m going to plan in July around the 13 which is my birthday. Love your videos.

[@incog99skd11]

When I was at Rocky Mountain National Park, they said not to walk on the tiny plants above the tree line. Some plants were 500 years old and were barely 3 inches tall. I guess the tundra on top is very very fragile and grows very very slowly.

[@barryfunke8165]

Great video Russ! Love your adventures.

Me and my husband and three children can go through Montana coming from the east. We stayed in a timeshare log cabin and It was so beautiful I kinda was disappointed at first with the scenery at first cause I couldn't see anything but fog. I went up to the loft and wow my jaw dropped I could see those high beautiful mountains I could see even the ski slops. We were going to just drive up the mountains to Yellowstone but that day it had snowed and they closed the roads down . So later on the day as we had planned to leave the roads were open backed up. I had cooked a meal of fried chicken potato salad and snacks. The views were amazing my husband was driving and here I am scared of heights he said hey you're going to have to drive he was getting dizzy and he got nervous I told him no way I could drive so after about five mins he started feeling better. And there was no pull off so he had to keep on driving. We walked over to the lookout and can't remember what it was called but it was amazing of all those mountains. The cars coming up the mountains looked like ants crawling up the mountains.We saw a Hugh brown bear and buffalo and a badger and I tell you it was mad I was driving and my husband said put the camera out and take a picture well that the badger came charging at our van and he hit it so hard it put a dent at the bottom of the door. Why that thing eat me up if it got a hold of me lol . But after that we went down the mountain and there was a valley it took my breath away so we parked I got our blanket and food out and had a picnic watching fly fisherman I will never forget that day. Driving across Beartooth mountain was a trip I never forget my children were a little bored tho. This was back in the 80s about 5 maybe 10 years before the big fire. We saw Ole Faithful and a lot of geysers. I thank God we had a chance to go visit Yellowstone and stay 4 nights in Red Lodge a beautiful little town. I wished I could go back again cause I was in love with Montana beautiful state. I would encourage anyone to go visit one day. It's worth every penny you spend to go though the Beartooth mountain ❤❤

[@rangerider51]

Years ago when I drove a truck I was going north on I-15 in southern Montana and a badger was going across the interstate in the left lane and as I approached it tried to attack my semi. Those guys are mean. I didn’t hit it.

[@talkshow5100]

Thanks so much Russ for your travels , watching your travel thru Beartooth , I’m thinking of a detour this summer thru this part of country , just wondering your thoughts of pulling a 5 wheel thru there to Red lodge, Cody too Red Lodge ,

[@rvertv]

i didnt see too many RV's on the pass. but you would probably be ok

[@ElwoodAndersonNV]

Wow! I really enjoyed this video. I gave it wide circulation. I've watched your channel for a long time, and this one takes first prize. I traveled the Bear Tooth Highway from Red Lodge to Yellowstone Park a couple decades ago and really enjoyed it, but I really dropped the ball by not investigating Red Lodge. They deserve some commendation for preserving their history. That really sealed the deal for this video.

[@rvertv]

Thanks for sharing the video. Red Lodge really is a hidden gem!

[@nadinejohnson2189]

👋🏽Seasons Greetings 🎄 too, everyone 🤗

[@gloriakulas4480]

I was hoping to listen to the marmot u saw 1 I noticed by the rock .bird songs in background lovely to hear too . Didn't see the top of the world store area .did I miss this ? Or not ? Love when u visit places 1st time to hear your excitement experience joy .Happy Holidays 🎉❤

[@maxwest720]

I was filling up at the Exxon in Cooke City a few years ago when a guy on a little four wheel ATV pulled up at the pump beside me. He was wearing a gun belt with a six shooter like in a cowboy movie. Pretty cool.

[@rickolson-51]

Deer Lodge Mt is home to a National Park which is also the oldest working cattle ranch in the US... amazing history, to bad you didn't go there.

[@rangerider51]

Really? I visited Deer Lodge, Montana in 2023. When I drove a truck I always wanted to see the cars behind bars (old Montana prison). I took a vacation to Montana in August and September and went to different places. I’ve always loved Montana. Clear skies, clear lakes and rivers. Very pretty state.

[@spellmadam2947]

Great viewing.

[@Me_and_He_97]

Thank you for the video. MERRY CHRISTMAS ☃️ ❄️

[@brendalogan6281]

I see this posted at the end of December but I realized I just heard you say something about driving through here in July so i'm assuming this is an older video. Can you say when you actually made this trip?I would really appreciate it. I would love to just follow your route through route twenty and go all the way across country again.

[@roberthunt8883]

I just finished watching the video and heard you were coming through Cody. I wished had known I would have try to meet up and bought you lunch or dinner since I live her in Cody.

[@ThomasMackay-i8h]

I saw snow on that highway in early August some years ago.
