Some roads are simply cooler than others. And as much as Mount Washington is an impressive dose of alpine roadwork for folks from Boston, this one puts things in perspective.
The Beartooth Road reaches almost 11,000' as it crosses between Cooke City and Red Lodge, Montana. It rises fairly gently across beautiful mountain scenery on the southern slope, then plummets down a series a switchbacks on the north side. Where as far as we could tell, the official speed limit remained 70 mph. Yes, that's a maximum, but one wonders why they had to post it on top in the first place.
