Thanks for the 'heads-up.' Any visit to the Park would be a daytime drive-thru. 'Camping' would be a motel at night somewhere east of Yellowstone, and at a lower altitude.
Or west, in West Yellowstone.

What city? Greenwald
That's Red Lodge City, Montana, Kevin. For a real treat, spend a night at this place:

And for a really great bar, try this place:

Red Lodge is one of my favourite towns, along with Winthrop, Washington, Joseph, Oregon, and Waterton Townsite, in my home province. Places that have a vibe about them, and where you feel good, just being there.
Red Lodge is a really fun place, Kevin, with a good selection of accomodation.
The ride to Red Lodge isn't too shabby either coming up from Cody,WY on Chief Joseph Hwy then over Beartooth Pass If it's open by then...
Hello Kevin,
My wife and I are planning a trip to YS in that same timeframe. We will be staying at West Yellowstone and doing day trips within the park and the surrounding area. Feel free to email me at txmxrider@yahoo.com if you want to compare research notes. Otherwise, keep your eye out for a blue '03 K1200GT with TX plates. Maybe our paths will cross.
PS, I enjoy your articles in the BMW-MOA. Keep up the good work!
Have been doing some research for a ride with a buddy out west to South Dakota and on to Yellowstone in late May/early June in 2012.
Getting 'vibes' that this may not be a good time of year for Yellowstone, due to weather issues?
For those who have ridden out there around that time of year, what say ye?
Thanks - Kevin
I've been turned back by snow in Yellowstone, in June, twice... Last time was "09" [i think] 8" in the passes, & 4-5" inches in the park. Got as far as Devils Tower, and turned back to Deadwood.

Kevin my wife and I honeymooned there beginning May 19th 1977. Still on the honeymoon as of this writing. ( my wife made me write this) We were on a Gold wing and camped out at the Cody WY entrance. Weather was chilly at night but I had someone to cuddle up with.
