212 from Billings to Yellowston
I'm contemplating taking the Beartooth hiway into Yellowstone in a 40 ft DP towing a CRV. Any issues anyone can think of?

If you have any breathing issues, think about it long and hard before you go up there. It tops out at nearly 11,000 feet.
The last time we went up there, I began having breathing distress at about the 9,000 foot level, and by the time we got to the top, well, let's just say my wife, the nurse, was VERY unhappy with my insistence that I could make it!
COPD and Beartooth Pass are not a good mix! I won't be going back.
By the way, the Pass is currently closed on the Wyoming side due to snow. While it will likely reopen, it could close again any time at this time of year, and no one knows when the closure will be for the remainder of the winter!
