Larry,
I hope this is not the whole group e-mail address.
Beartooth Pass is not far from Billings, Montana where I grew up. The Beartooth mountains are my old stomping ground and they are spectacular. Unfortunately the Beartooth Pass is not yet cleared of snow until almost the end of the month. Attached are a few photos of the highway on a very snowy year. Also see

Heading west across the Montana after the mountains end and prairie begins at Billings is about 5 hours of fairly flat and boring to the border of North Dakota. A cool thing to see on the way to Sturgis is the Devils Tower in the corner of Wyoming.
Have Fun!
