I have been over the Beartooth on my bike, but never saw this trail. Wish I would have been invited. I must be too old.

I backpacked in to Goose Lake and then over Grasshopper Glacier to the base of Granite Peak.  It's heavenly up there.

This looks like a great trip Lee!  Did you guys go the whole way (22 miles?)?  Camp overnight?

Alan, Goose trail was closed (?) when we were there, we did Lu Lu, sheep Mtn, and returned to Cooke City via Daisy. None of this was planned as we were there for other reasons and just stumbled upon it. A beautiful part of the world no doubt but not a place to take a group bigger than 4-5 Jeeps.

Beartooth Mountains:  My favorite place on this planet.  Nice trip Lee.  We spent 4 days this past summer on the East Boulder Plateau.  A lot of Jeep time there.

The little woman and I were there in 2011 and lived it. We spent about a week in that area. Thanks for the video. We swore we were going back within a few years. It's only been 8 years, I guess that's a few.

A lot of awesome country there Duffer! But I don't see the 3B in any of those pictures!!Disapprove The only problem is, that at the end of the road you guy's hike another few miles to get all those pictures. I see you got caught buy the chopper at that one lake though. Thumbs Up
Don't know if we will get south next summer or not.

It is delicate country up there.  There's a mine at Goose Lake.  I think the weather conditions there are pretty similar to Iron Chest in Colorado.  At least the Goose Lake miners didn't have to suck for air quite as hard!

Don't know if we will get south next summer or not.

Chopper: we had just got back to Star Lake from a day hike from Snow, Green, and Little Green Lake and that chopper was dumping fish into Star.  Interesting even if it disturbed any resemblance to peace and quite.

Most of those posted trips did involve Jeep time just getting to the point of hiking/backpacking but at least one was 50 something miles with the backpack.  My first visit to the Tooth's (other than just a drive over the highway) was in 1964, the year the area became a primitive area.  That was the classic Cooke City-East Rosebud route (beaten path) but it was very, very much less beaten in those days.  For the next 40 years, I was in there for a week or more just about every summer, almost all of it off-trail backpacking.  I have many hundreds of Kodachrome slides from those trips but that stuff just doesn't digitize very well.  But maybe someday I'll take time to run them through one of the scanners.

And you WILL be seeing the 3B again in next summer's photos, least I'm dead.  New front axle/springs/steering in-place and new engine sitting complete on engine stand.  The engine is almost to pretty to run------

No worries! 😁 It’s nice to see a thread revived, and hear other memories of a beautiful place
