Bear Tooth Pass ....

[gulfxray]

This may be a stupid question, but ....

Generally speaking, would Bear Tooth Pass and Chief Joseph HiWay be open in late September (3rd or 4th week)?

Or should I plan on heading for the Hill Country?

Just curious, I may get a few days off and want to stretch my legs so-to-speak, and see someplace I have never seen before...

Shawn,

The pass is usually open thru Labor Day. But if there is an early snow storm you may have to carry a shovel.

Good Luck,

Bruce

Thanks.... I figured it was too late... Maybe next year...

I was there last June 25th. On top of the pass (approximately 11k ft), there was snow on the sides of the road, it was about 40 degrees at 11:00 am with 15 mile per hour winds. For my life to be complete, I MUST go back, absolutely stunning ride. BTW, if you go, try lodging at Soda Butte lodge in Red Lodge. Nice folks and good eats just down the street. When we rode into town about 7PM there was an Elk standing next to the Exxon. Kinda like their mascot.
