Highway 14/14A Loop
After being advised not to take Highway 14 out of Sheridan with my RV, I thought it might be a good motorcycle road. It did not disappoint.

Yellowstone (north loop)
I left the campground early and as a result there were times when I had the Chief Joseph Highway and Route 212 into Yellowstone pretty much to myself. When it is just you and your bike out in the middle of nowhere, listening to that engine purr is the sweetest sound this side of a woman saying "yes".
Unfortunately, the solitude did not last. The park was a lot more crowded then earlier in the week and vehicles were parked all over the place wherever there was wildlife or a major point of interest.

Yellowstone (south loop)
Highway 14 from Cody to Yellowstone is another very scenic ride. It follows the Shoshone River most of the way with towering canyon walls on both sides of the road. Great way to enter the park.
Northwestern Wyoming is a postcard factory. You could put megapixels on the endangered species list out here. I was not able to take all of the photos I would have liked simply because I ran out of time.

Chief Joseph Highway & Beartooth Pass
Wow! We're talking "bucket list" rides here. Incredible vistas with lots of curves. It doesn't get much better than this. You have to see and experience it first hand. Of the almost 100 photos that I took, it was tough picking just a few for the blog...

Devil's Tower
The Devil's Tower in Wyoming is huge! 1,267 feet tall and 1,000 feet in diameter. I recommend hiking the Tower Trail (1.3 miles) around the base to see the many facets of the rock up close. It is definitely worth a "Close Encounter of the Third Kind".
