We are planning a motorcycle trip from July 25th to August 4th. Our plan is to stay in the Black Hills for the 1st 2 days @ Hisega Lodge. Then on July 27th head toward The Tetons, stopping in Riverton, Wy. overnight. Then head to Jackson to stay at the Angler Inn for 2 days and cruise around the Tetons and maybe South Yellowstone. Then on the 30th head thru Yellowstone to Red Lodge Mt for another 2 days and explore the north end of the park.
From there head to Gillette Wy for 1 day to check out Devils Tower and then head back to Hisega for the last 2 days of our trip. Any comments or help would be appreciated. I've read several comments that say driving/riding at night is a bad idea. I'm concerned that from Red
Lodge to the park and back might be a push as well as from Jackson to Red Lodge. What do you think???? Thanks
South Dakota to Grand Teton To Yellowstone & back

You will be tackling two very slow driving mountain passes on one day even though it's only about 230 miles. Mount Washburn and the Beartooth Highway http://www.beartoothhighway.com/roadMaps/index.html. You are not going to want to drive over the Beartooth Highway to get back into the north part of Yellowstone for two days. It's like 2 hours just doing the 68 miles of the Beartooth Hwy. The geysers are down at the southern end and traveling from the Jackson up to the geyser areas is a long way too! Figure 2 hours from Jackson to Old Faithful area (one way).
If you can't find a place to stay inside the park (keep calling for cancellations, then try staying a couple nights at West Yellowstone so you can see the park and then exit going to Red Lodge.
