Well said!! Beautiful drive if you are in something that can do this route, but there is always someone who wants to prove how macho it is to drive a
motor home and tow across. Why? Creep up the side of the mountain and creep down the other side. Not enough room to get into a pull out (if there is any there) with that hookup and the people behind you are getting more frustrated wanting to get around. Like the man said, do everyone a favor, be safe and drive something meant to take a route like this.
You are right, it's those pesky other people that are the issue. Though they should feel honored to drive 5 MPH behind someone who cannot or will not drive any faster, they often get frustrated. Then they get even more frustrated when that 5 MPH driver won't utilize the infrequent pull outs to let the line of traffic pass. Some will just salute you with an outstretched finger, others will pass when it is not advisable, putting you, themselves and other travelers at risk. In my opinion, it is very selfish to plan a route where you know you won't be able to travel the speed of the traffic, just to prove you can. I can't think of too many situation where someone would need to drive the Beartooth highway. It is traveled almost exclusively because it is an incredibly scenic drive. Do everyone a favor and park your big rig and drive it in an appropriate vehicle.
