Where BEARS and BUFFALO roam


Hauling fi rewood to the property’s woodshed with the Bobcat 3400 dramatically cuts down on labor and time for Lance Coppock and Barbara Hering.

Offi cially designated as Highway 212, although more commonly known as Beartooth Highway, this 67-mile stretch of road, originating at the most northeasterly entrance to Yellowstone National Park, offers sweeping vistas of snow-covered mountains, unlimited outdoor recreation opportunities and unparalleled wildlife viewing. It’s the highest elevation highway in the northern Rockies, at points reaching upwards of 11,000 feet.


UTV has also greatly reduced the number of trips — and back strain — he and Hering now have to make between the house and woodshed when replenishing the stockpile for inside use.


“It’s a very rugged machine that is right at home within the terrain here,” Coppock says. “It was especially useful with building our outdoor fi re ring. We would never have been able to carry many of the larger rocks the distance if we had done it manually.”


Rugged recreational versatility


Coppock likens the Bobcat 3400 4x4 UTV to a burley motorized cart — fun to drive, easy to operate and quick to adapt to changing terrain — yet recalls being cautioned by his dealer to always respect its power and capabilities.


“Our dealer explained all the safety factors and emphasized that the 3400 was a powerful UTV,” Hering says. “He spent a lot of time demonstrating the different transmission settings and showing us which would be best for different types of conditions. I was a bit intimidated at fi rst, but learning the right gears and how to drive it safely, I soon felt totally safe. The 3400 allows us to access places we normally wouldn’t venture into. It’s very utilitarian, but the added surprise for us is that it’s also a lot of fun. We now create our own trails and observe unsuspecting wildlife that most people never get the chance to see.”

Events leading to its construction were actually set in motion when Congress set aside Yellowstone as the nation’s fi rst national park. By 1880, the towns of Cooke City and Red Lodge, Mont., were well-established and with the automobile becoming the preferred mode during the 1920s, the need for a road system in and out of Yellowstone was set in motion.


Construction began in 1932, and many of the engineering aspects are impressive even by today’s standards. Despite the diffi cult terrain and harsh weather conditions, the project was completed on time and on budget in 1936. Some 75 years later, this scenic highway — coined “America’s most beautiful roadway” by CBS News anchor Charles Kuralt — still provides visitors an unparalleled journey through some of the most remote wilderness on earth, just as it did for Model T drivers more than 8 decades ago.
