Two Motorcycles Slide Off Pass; Several More Temporarily Stranded by Slush and Wind

Three to four inches of wet slush make for treacherous driving on Beartooth Pass. Vehicles are stopped as two motorcyles are picked up after sliding down the road. Always be prepared for changing road conditions.

An eyewitness report in the noon hour of Tuesday, August 8, states several motorcycles are temporarily stranded as 3-4” of slushy rain blows over the Beartooth Pass near the Twin Lakes headwall making driving treacherous for all. A local was caught in the flurry and took the above photo while waiting for two motorcycles to recover from their encounter. No injuries were reported. A good reminder to always be prepared for changing weather conditions.
