Grand Teton, Yellowstone, WY, MT advice needed
I'm really weeks away from a week-long solo trip into WY and MT. I have no specific roads landed yet and could use some advice. I'd like to see Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone during the trip. Beartooth Pass has also been on my list. If you know of any must-ride roads and reasonable (low cost) hotels in the area, please let me know. I'll start planning out my route and stops later this week. I'd rather not book hotels ahead of time so that I can spend time exploring areas that I come across during the week, but I'm worried about getting stuck without a hotel if I do that due to the vicinity to the national parks.

I left Omaha Friday afternoon and made it to Laramie, WY Friday night. The bike showed 104 degrees riding across Nebraska. Not sure how close that is to reality, but it was HOT. Saturday morning I headed into the Snowy Range of Medicine Bow National Forest. Wow. Amazing ride! I put another relaxing 500 miles on today and have stopped in Dubois, WY for the night and to watch the CWS on TV. On to Grand Teton and Yellowstone tomorrow.

I got up early and left the hotel at 4:30 to catch the sunrise in Grand Teton National Park. I had the park nearly to myself until about 7:00am. Great ride through Teton and Yellowstone. The day ended by riding the Beartooth Pass and then down to Cody for the night. The Beartooth was awesome! By far the best stretch of road and views of the day.
I'll post some more pics later.
