Beartooth Highway Motorcycle Ride: Part 1, Cooke City to Beartooth Pass Summit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This is the legendary Beartooth Highway. Ride with us the 35 awe inspiring miles from historic Cooke City, Montana to the 10,947' summit of Beartooth Pass, Wyoming. Starting in Cooke City the highway winds through the forest offering occasional views of the Absaroka Mountains before beginning its steep climb to the picturesque Long Lake. From Long Lake the fun really begins as the highway zigzags madly through the rock strewn alpine scenery to the summit of Beartooth Pass. Beartooth Highway is on every Motorcycle ride top ten list in North America for good reason, and after this ride, you will know why.
Featuring Paul Black's song "Better Man" and "Breathe"

Don't ride but find your videos great for calming my anxiety. This is one of the best. Thank you.
Hello Lily. I want to tell you how much I like your comment, it really means a lot to me. When I build my videos both the motorcycle and the vintage videos, I try to create an experience that people can just sit back and lose themselves in the ride, the highway, the scenery. I strive to create a 10 minute or so escape for the viewer, in our fast paced world we all need to take 10 minutes once and awhile.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment, it is very much appreciated, reading the great comments I get help calm my anxiety! I will probably be using your comment on my Facebook page Dry Rock Studios.
It's a very beautiful country you live in and I really enjoy your road trips. Thank you for letting us watch them.
I drove from Red Lodge to Cooke City and beyond. Can’t wait to ride it on my Yamaha! Thanks for the video!
As you already know it is an awesome road, in a car or on a bike. I really loved doing it on my Yamaha!
I really enjoy your videos. You do the editing very well. I have riden the Beartooth Pass many times on a motorcycle and also on a snowmobile. What a great ride.
Thank you Ron! Yep Beartooth is quite the place, must really be something in the winter.
Thanks for the comment, and the support. I will get back to you on Buy Me a Coffee real soon!
Thank you, Robert. I've been incredibly lucky to have done the Beartooth twice over the past 3 years, and it remains one of the most memorable rides in my journey through CO, ID, WY, MT, SD, AZ, and NM. And there is no question that riding through those remarkable states is best done on a motorcycle - no better way to see the US! Thanks very much for your ride guides.
You are very welcome, and thank you for joining us on our rides!
Well done mate. This is my mom's backyard. Spent my entire youth out here! You done good!
Well thank you very much. It is always nice to hear.
Great video and good tunes too!!
Thank you very much, nice to hear.
Really look forward to the next videos. Thank you for reminding us of these memories. We did these rides back in the mid to late 80's. In a super duty 3 years ago. Beautiful!
Happy to have you ride along with us again!
I know this is 5 years later...
I planted My Momma at 10,955 ft ON/IN Beartooth on July 25, 2009... She would have enjoyed the scenery and certainly would have pee'd her brritches on several of them turns going up...
Thank You for the ride along, Robert...
I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you for coming along for the ride, and for sharing!
Brings back some great memories. Thanks for posting
Thank you for joining us for another ride, happy to hear that it brought back some great memories of your own trip!
Bueityful valleys were ever that place is. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful ride...thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you for joining us on our ride!
Nicely done.
Thank you, for watching, and for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thank you Robert for sharing love the view and the music in the background of the engine you and your wife blessed me with your videos
Always appreciate your great comments, thank you! Thank you for joining us for another ride, you may want to tighten your grip for the next one, part 2 is coming, and it is on the top of the world!
Thanks again for another informative video. I really liked the pictures from the summit.

Thank you for joining us on another ride. You will want to tighten your grip for part 2 and 3 as we ride the top of the world (and the edge), coming up next week!
Like always a great ride. Some day soon I am going out there to ride.
Thanks
Thank you for joining us on this ride!
Thanks for another great quality video of some amazing places.
Thanks for watching, and commenting!
Great ride video. It Inspired me. Don’t go before July though. There’s a good chance of road closures into late June. Hopefully I’ll get another chance to finish.
Great job! Makes me want to get out and ride!
Then my job is done!
Love listening to that motor.
Love watching your videos. After seeing this series of videos, we are planning to head up there next year and experience it ourselves on 2 wheels.
Thank you! Beartooth is a such a great place to visit. You will have a great trip!
Great video makes me want go again without the rain and snow.
The weather in high mountain passes can be so unpredictable, but when it's nice, it is spectacular!
I haven't watched this one. I was researching next year's trip and up came your video. Thanks. I don't know how I missed it. Didn't you do one up Beartooth and hit a thunder storm?
The thunderstorm was coming down from Mt Evans
Just perfect wow God willing I will be there this summer . Do you have any of going to the sun rides? Thank you very much great video.
Thank you very much Michael. I hope you were able to watch all three of my Beartooth videos, as well as all my different Wyoming rides, they will inspire you to see some beautiful Wyoming scenery.
For some reason I keep missing Going to the Sun, hopefully one day.
Thanks for wayching, and commenting.
Awesome
Looks like you will have to ride Beartooth now for Number 4!
How were the temps in August? Great scenery. Every time I plan a trip and do some research on RUclips one of your videos shows up. 🤣👍😎
August temps are really comfy. Lows in the morning are just above freezing but highs into the mid 60's. Remember by mid September this highway usually gets closed because of winter conditions so don't plan the ride to late in the year.
@@RobertMerz good advice. Thanks!
Nice ride, didn't seem too bad for a guy like me scared shitless of heights.
If heights really bother you you could still do the Cooke City to the Summit portion of this highway. Just don't continue on to Red Lodge from the Summit.
@@RobertMerz ok thank you 👍
I just went across the Bear tooth from top end of Yellowstone to Red Lodge. I did not enjoy it. Had I realized what it was I would not have. I'm 65 and a bagger is not easy to hold up in those turns going slow. Same opinion I had of 129. I'm glad some people enjoy it. I did not.
I have driven it over 20 times in my 50 years. Don't camp at the TOP OF THE WORLD CAMP SITE..... nose bleeds too high.... barley any O2 to make a campfire.....froze my ass at night fingerling fish....keep going to Cooke City......
Don't know what your SPEED was...BUT...I've enjoyed this same ride (watching both ROAD and SCENERY) at a slightly SLOWER speed.
BTPass is pretty spectacular...and for me to say that (I'm from Colorado)...says a lot.
A ride you shouldn't miss.
Nice.
Fantastic! I just bought a bike, hope to see you out there someday!👍
From Model T's to a bike, nice! What kind of bike did you get?
Robert Merz Indian Springfield
Wow, beauty! I really admire the Indians, they really have done a great job of being retro which means it will fit right in with your T's but unlike them it will keep up with traffic no problem. Someday when I replace the liner it might be with the Indian Roadmaster, but that is quite a ways off.
Happy riding and stay safe!
Hello, what month were you there? great videos!!
We rode this Highway in late August.
Thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment.
Hey- that’s the same time I drove through there. Crazy to see glaciers and snow fields when you down the mountain.
Thank you for sharing, had to be a great trip for sure. How long did your total road trip take.
Thanks for joining us again.
On this particular trip, through parts of Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Idaho, we were gone 42 days!
Robert, great videos! How is your camera mounted so stable?
It's a trade secret!
But seriously, the camera is hard mounted to a counterweight that is bolted through the center of a piece of fairly rigid rubber. The rubber is bolted around it's perimeter to a metal mount located on my left mirror stalk. It took a bit of experimenting to make it work well but the results are satisfactory. It gives vibration dampening and inertia dampening. It will cost you a visit to my Facebook page to see a picture at: facebook.com/dryrockstudios/photos/a.453336891456077.1073741828.451931728263260/872346102888485/?type=3&theater
you always do a great job of putting these videos together.. did you figure this out or get some professional help?
Thanks Terry. I am self taught.
Let's see the driving video ^^
Not much traffic.
It can be quite busy, but later in the summer and the traffic does wane.
