Yellowstone loop from Sturgis

I would think that would be three long days. I left Sturgis one day and stopped in
Cody. It was an all day ride. But I stopped at a dealership and a long lunch. I guess you could see Yellowstone in a day. I spent two days riding YS. I rode each loop both directions in the two days and saw most of the sites. I would recommend you not go that far unless you ride Chief Joseph Hwy and Beartooth Pass. I would add to that seeing the Grand Tetons. I hope to do the same trip next year with my wife this time.

Planning to meet up with friends in Yellowstone who are doing this very thing.
We will be coming in from the west, after hitting Tetons and Lolo Pass, taking the long way around. We'll meet them in the park, spend the night in Cody, then head to Sturgis for a couple of nights before going home.
They will leave from Sturgis, bunk down in Cody, then hit the park and back to Cody on day 2, then head back to Sturgis.
Sturgis to Cody is less than 400 miles, so that's a nice day trip.
Yellowstone and Tetons are a lot to take in in one shot, but you can get the highlights if the weather and crowds cooperate.
As stated above, a trip through Beartooth should be on your list as well, but it will really be a challenge to get that in and see the park at all like you want to. And, if seeing Tetons is important to you, plan on more than one trip (or one day, for sure) to get the full experience of that area.
All the best,
Shane

90w from Sturgis to Sheridan, WY and 14w, then 14A across BigHorn Lake and into Lovell, then 310N towards Bridger and south on 72 to Belfry and 308W into Red Lodge. Stay the night in RL (Alpine Lodge w/free cook to order breakfast) , then next morning ride the Beartooth Pkwy and take Chief Joseph south into Cody..then west on 14 into Yellowstone, and south past Grand Tetons and into Jackson Hole (The Ranch Inn) . Then come back out of Jackson Hole and take 26E thru Wind River Canyon to Thermoplis, then 20 N/E to Worland and 16E to Buffalo and back on 90.
Can't draw the route on Google cause some of the roads are closed now due to snow...
Stay night in Red Lodge and then Jackson Hole and make hotel reservations atleast 6-8 months out!!!!
