Welcome to the next stop on our series of top road biking and cycling spots around America, brought to you by Godspeed Socks. Today, we're going to talk about the stunning Beartooth Pass, located on the border of Montana and Wyoming.

Beartooth Pass is one of the highest and most scenic roads in the United States, reaching a peak altitude of over 10,000 feet. The 68-mile ride from Red Lodge, Montana, to the northeastern entrance of Yellowstone National Park is a popular route among road bikers, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The ride begins in the charming town of Red Lodge, where you can stop by the local bike shop, Sylvan Peak Mountain Shop and Cafe, to stock up on any necessary supplies or rent a bike if you're traveling without one. From there, the road winds up through switchbacks and hairpin turns as you climb higher and higher into the Beartooth Mountains.

As you approach the summit, you'll pass through alpine tundra and see glaciers, snowfields, and mountain lakes, all of which offer an incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring backdrop to your ride. Once you reach the top, take a break and enjoy the view at the vista points along the way.

The descent back down to the northeastern entrance of Yellowstone National Park is a thrilling ride with sweeping curves and breathtaking views. Be sure to keep an eye out for wildlife such as moose, elk, and bighorn sheep that may be grazing in the surrounding fields.
