It would be hard to pick one place or road as the coolest we've ever been to, but I am going to say riding over Beartooth Highway between Montana and Wyoming, was one of the coolest. I think it is numbered Rt 212, about 70 miles of sheer rugged mountainous beauty full of vertical switchbacks huge elevation changes and it leads in Yellowstone Natl Park. The day my wife and I rode it it was so hot down low we had our jackets strapped atop the trunk. About 1/2 way up, we pulled over to put our jackets back on and there was snow all around us. The jagged peaks reminded me of the Alps we had seen in Europe. The biggest difference is we were able to see this spectacle without flying for 1/2 a day in a plane, to a country that we don't speak the language, then have to take a train ride, then rent a motorcycle. We were able to ride to it straight from our front door. Well, We live in Ohio, it wasn't exactly straight from the front door. It was like 1700 miles from the front door... But believe me, it was well worth the trip.
