you sir, obviously know nothing about WY
As others have mentioned, Beartooth Pass is in WY
other great roads:
296 from 212 just west of Beartooth to 120
14 from Sheridan to Greybull, or the northern route aint bad either
16 from Buffalo to Ten Sleep
130 from Laramie to Riverside
70 from Riverside to Baggs
26 from Riverton to Grand Tetons
are just a few, but keep in mind WY has the highest rate of issuing speeding tickets, although the LEO's are no nonsense people and pretty nice (let me off both times "enjoy your stay in WY")
Wyoming is Colorado without the people, and the last state with real cowboys

EVERY state has SOME boring roads. One really needs to get off the main superslab, and look at a map for all the fun crooked lines, and explore!

Find out when the Sturgis bike rally is, and avoid that timeslot. (Usually first week in Aug.). Only because they'll get in your way, and you'll get in their way. (Way too much traffic to enjoy driving a high performance auto in.) Or, do the trip on bikes - the rally is a lot of fun...
"Must Sees" include: Nemo Road between Sturgis and Deadwood; Crazy Horse Monument; Mt. Rushmore; Custer State Park; Deadwood, Iron Mountain Road. Driving around requires two trips on each road - first to enjoy the sights (beautiful scenery) and then to enjoy the ride - lots of fun high speed curves, comparatively high speed limits, etc. Kind of like the "Dragons Tail" back East. Did I say Nemo Road? Don't miss it. Also, as soon as you figure out your dates, make a dinner reservation at the Midnight Star Restaurant in Deadwood, it's Kevin Costners place and probably the best meal in South Dakota.

Sounds good. I'm heading your way on the 20th to BIR for a track day with my new GS. Had my GS out in the driveway tonight taking pics and half the neighborhood was over to look at it. They certainly get the attention. The orange didn't do much for me at first, but it grew on me as I looking for GS. Very Happy with it.

Would love to join you. But I'll be in Montana. Someday I'll get to the track...
