Hi everyone:
We are planning a trip from Winnipeg Canada to Yellowstone NP. We have been there a couple of times before usuallly crossing the Bighorn mountains around Buffalo WY and then going through Cody and Wapiti Valley.
We want to try the northeast entrance through the Beartooth Pass via US212, but have been told not to attempt this trip hauling a fifth wheel.
We are hauling a 32' fifth with a Chev Duramax. Safety wise, I think it is OK. Our concern is tunnel heights and the radius of the switchbacks.
We have travellled the Colorado Million $ Highway, between Ouray, CO and Durango and some of those switchbacks were interesting. My wife still talks about seeing the trailer's rear-end out the passenger side window! We have hauled various trailers for 22 years so we are reasonably experienced.
Has anyone else travelled over the Beartooth Pass with a large trailer? What are your feelings about this route? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
