US-212
DISTANCE: 137 miles
TIME: 2 hours 40 min
One of the best motorcycle rides in Wyoming us this amazing byway that connects the charming communities of Red Lodge and Cooke City and serves as a western corridor to Yellowstone National Park. It's been called "the most beautiful drive in America," and rightly so, according to riders who have had the experience of riding here. Because of heavy snowfall at the top, the pass is usually open each year only from mid May through mid October, weather conditions permitting. The below route includes the Wyoming and Montana portion of the entire road from Red Lodge to the Northeast Entrance Station. Continue on US-212 for further riding into Yellowstone National Park.

Routes 191, 53
DISTANCE: 143 miles
TIME: 2.5 hours
This fantastic motorcycle road in Wyoming is in southern part of the state and circles around Flaming Gorge country—named for the late-afternoon sun reddening the cliffs.
