Iowawegian Posted July 28, 2009 #1 Posted July 28, 2009 Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia, and Alberta....amazing scenery every day!! Glacier/Road to the Rising Sun Banff and Jasper But the scariest ride of all.....Beartooth Pass from Cooke City Montana to Red Lodge Montana!! We were higher than the clouds! You can't tell it on the map, but this one's crazy!!! And grizzly country to boot! Here's a few pix but they don't do the beauty justice....And to all the Canuk's....thanks for the wonderful hospitality your country hands out! Gary and I will never forget this trip!!
rosebud Posted July 28, 2009 #2 Posted July 28, 2009 Great pics, glad that you had a great trip and made it home safe and sound.
Condor Posted July 28, 2009 #3 Posted July 28, 2009 First time I've ever heard someone describe the Bear Tooth as scary... I'll plan on getting scared then when we do Cody in Sept. Bring on dem Grizzlies. Arrrgh!!!! BTW very.. very nice pics ....
Cinderella Posted July 28, 2009 #4 Posted July 28, 2009 beautiful pictures...what an awesome trip......one day im hoping we can do something like that.
Yama Mama Posted July 28, 2009 #5 Posted July 28, 2009 What absolutely beautiful photos! Didn't God do good work! I would love to see more. Yama Mama:big-grin-emoticon:
Venturous Randy Posted July 28, 2009 #6 Posted July 28, 2009 Wow, I envy you folks. Are you going to post more pics, those were great!! RandyA
Iowawegian Posted July 28, 2009 Author #7 Posted July 28, 2009 Wow, I envy you folks. Are you going to post more pics, those were great!! RandyA I took 249 pix but had to have Don help me because I had a hard time posting the 5 pix. He had to make them smaller and I don't know how to do it. Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, Lake Morraine, Jasper Parkway...Heulet Wy Montana....it was all so beautiful...I couldn't belive how pretty the pix turned out. From a country gal that is surrounded by soybean and corn fields, you can't even describe the beauty. There just aren't words...
colesgrandpaw Posted July 28, 2009 #8 Posted July 28, 2009 I got home on July 18th form a 4757 mile trip from Arkansas to Moses Lake Washington, and i have to say that the Beartooth Pass was the most impressive of the trip and the coldest it was 33 deg. when we got to the top. B
scotty Posted July 28, 2009 #9 Posted July 28, 2009 Congrats on a great trip! Kinda worth doing again isn't it? We just got home last night as well and also have a pile of pics. Wow, 5000 miles!, and I thought we were ambitious at 2900 miles last week.
91nwl Posted July 28, 2009 #10 Posted July 28, 2009 O don't know if the Beartooth is "scary" or it just takes your breath away. It kind of depends on the weather. But either way it is definately a rush.
juggler Posted July 28, 2009 #11 Posted July 28, 2009 Wonderful trip. I would love to get out that direction on two wheels sometime.
Sling Posted July 28, 2009 #13 Posted July 28, 2009 What a great trip. The pictures are really good, thanks we'd like to see more! Peggy and I were in the early stages of planning a trip back in March of this year for a trip this summer. The plan was to ship the bike out to the Yellowstone National park area, fly out and pick up the bike and ride home. We were going to take 2 weeks to do it, but with furloughs on and off from work we figured it would be better to stay closer to home with just weekend trips. Well maybe next year:8:?
1BigDog Posted July 28, 2009 #14 Posted July 28, 2009 There really is nothing like getting back to your own bed. Glad you had a great trip. Pics are beautiful.
Cabinetman Posted July 28, 2009 #15 Posted July 28, 2009 Thank's for sharring with us all, by the pictures sounds like ya'll had a great time.
mini-muffin Posted July 28, 2009 #16 Posted July 28, 2009 Those pics are beautiful. Really pretty places you got to go. Hope you can get more of the pics posted later. I'd love to see more. Margaret
Hazenson Posted July 28, 2009 #17 Posted July 28, 2009 wow that looks and sounds like an incredable ad-venture very very nice pic's

Sure would like to see more pictures. Glad you all had a safe trip and enjoyed some of God's coloring book. James ( I too envy you all, would love too do that ride. The Blue Ridge PKWY is so beautiful, but wow.) Edited July 28, 2009 by FuzzyRSTD spelling again
elag Posted July 29, 2009 #19 Posted July 29, 2009 Beauty pics. Sounds like it was a great trip. I hope to do a trip like that some day.

Iowawegian Posted July 29, 2009 Author #22 Posted July 29, 2009 great pic i toook a few when i was out there in my truck but they didnt look as good as yours,, great job that was quite a ride.how many days ? we did 1400 this weekend,.... forgot the camera.........opps. We took 14 days, because we weren't used to mountains and we wanted to take our time and enjoy it. Funny thing was, when we came to our exit for home, we both said at the same time ..."Should we just keep going...." It's the longest trip we've ever taken. I would do the same trip over again in a heartbeat, because there was so much beauty, we know we missed a lot! I will never forget the Canadian Rockies.
RedRider Posted July 29, 2009 #23 Posted July 29, 2009 Deb, Looks like a great trip. Glad it all went well. Hoping to do some travelling in the southern Rockies late next month. Looks like I need to add the northern/Canadian Rockies to the wish list. RR
eagleeye Posted July 29, 2009 #24 Posted July 29, 2009 I understand why you wouldn't forget the canadian rockies. I did that trip on a bike once. Absolutely spectacular! Glad to hear that you had such a great time, Steve
BoomerCPO Posted July 29, 2009 #25 Posted July 29, 2009 Glad you folks had a great time with NO mishaps. The pics are great and will inspire many to do the same trip! Boomer.....who would gladly trade his MIL for such a trip.
