Grand Teton, Yellowstone, WY, MT advice needed

The "Highway to the Sun" in Glacier Nat'l Park won't be open until late June.....HIGHLY recommend it if you can get there.

I'll back 53rider up on that. Just an amazing road to take. It's a bit tucked away but worth the trip if you have the time (but do take care to ensure it's open before deciding to venture up there). If you're wondering why it doesn't open until mid-June take a look at the pics on this attachment. A massive job each spring to get this road ready for summer travellers. https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/glacie...7664781759964/

Wow! Those are some amazing pictures. If the road is open to motorcycles around June 20th, I'll have to make it part of my trip. By the looks of the pictures,

Opens mid June, or often mid July.
Check with the Park before hand.

Looks like they are ahead of schedule and plan to open this Friday. Of course, that can change, but it looks good for my trip in a few weeks! Here's a link to the news announcement:

That's Beartooth Pass, not the Going to the Sun!

Here's a link for the road I rode:

Road to the sun and Bear tooth are very different passes.
Although Bear tooth will have snow drifts remaining in July.
Either way, prepare to be baptised at least once a day.

Last year was my first time ever to Yellowstone, Beartooth Pass, both coming and going was awesome as was Yellowstone and the whole trip. I want to go back and ride the Going to the Sun road.

Haha, yes they are very different passes. That's what I get for sneaking in a post while I should have been working: embarrassment. Either way, both roads are now on my bucket list.
