RED LODGE — It was rain that brought mudslides last spring, closing a section of the Beartooth Highway just before the summer tourist season and prompting a whirlwind $13.55 million repair effort.
And it was raining Saturday in Red Lodge as boosters celebrated the seasonal opening of the road.
In a drizzle and temperatures in the high 30s, people turned out to herald a return of traffic on what has been called “the most beautiful roadway in America.”
Gateway communities Cooke City and Cody, Wyo., sent groups over the highway to Red Lodge in new biodiesel-fueled yellow tour buses operated by Yellowstone National Park.
