South of Red Lodge, Mt.

Mike and Janna Clark and Larry and Geri Gustafson rode this area, just south of Red Lodge, Mt. on the west side of the road.  I will try to locate the gravel road to turn on where you will find a nice big field to boondock on.  From that camp site, we rode south to 2 great sites.

  The first road travels up the mountain, like a rough 4x4 slow road,  where in the past there has been much mining.  At the end of this road is the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness Area.  Which is about 10K ft. Of course we thought we were the only ones up there, I should know better by now!!

At the end of the road is a nice waterfall and a trail you can hike to get close to it.  The drive is is amazing with forest and mountain cliff across the stream. This ride was on a FS. road.

Be sure to drive the Beartooth Hwy over to Cooke City and on to Yellowstone Nat. PK
