….“A motorcycle on the road almost straight down beneath us could hardly be seen from up here.

Rock Creek Vista Point, First Roadside Rest Area, Beartooth Highway ~14 Miles South of Red Lodge, MT.. Notice the different tiers of the highway that were the subject of several previous photographs.…
….The ZMM Narrator mentions seeing a motorcycle way below. I don’t recall seeing any motorcycles the whole time from Laurel, MT, to Gardiner, MT. It was a dark gloomy day when I traveled this part of the Beartooth Highway. Thus few people were on the road, and I saw only several other cars at this Roadside Rest Area. Was I there too early in the season? Or was it too gloomy, cloudy, & rainy?
….By contrast, the next day, there was an overflow crowd of vehicles in the parking lots at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park.
…A 2004 Google Search for Web or Images …Beartooth… discovered perhaps 15% motorcycles among the scenery photos. But a quick look at my June 2006 showed very few. Puzzle. Quite apparently we can not necessarily conclude mountain scenery is always (or will be), popular with the bikers.
…Later in my trip, I did see motorcycles regularly other places on my ZMM Route, most notable was in the parking lots at Crater Lake National Park. In general, motorcycles along the ZMM Route seem to be in about the same proportion as one sees anywhere else in the USA.
…. For the NEXT PHOTO, my camera was turned left, which then shows more Beartooth Highway Tiers.
