Part 5 | Motorcycle Portland, Oregon to Yellowstone

Missoula to Anaconda: After a long winter of limited motorcycle riding, a ride from Portland, Oregon over the Continental Divide to Yellowstone might be just what the doctor ordered. This is the fifth part in the Portland, Oregon to Yellowstone series.

Zooming along I-90 at Montana freeway speeds is fun for awhile, but MT-1 is a far more pleasant motorcycle ride. After running about 50 miles east on Interstate 90, we turned right onto the scenic MT-1, through the Deerlodge National Forest and alongside Georgetown Lake. Phillipsburg is a friendly town catering to the nearby Discovery ski area. MT-1 eventually runs through the mining town of Anaconda and the landmark stack (the Washington Monument would fit inside) standing sentry over the town.
