No problems. Please note: it is 100 miles from Billings to Livingston (2 hours or less), 51 miles to Gardiner (1 hour), another hour to get from the north gate to the turn-off to Roosevelt (buffalo and ? bear). Still looked like construction at Tower, so there could be hold-ups in that stretch, if you are going that way. Roosevelt to NE entrance, less than one hour (Buffalo jams), under two hours to get into Cody by way of the Chief Joseph Highway, and one more hour to get from Cody to Greybull.
I love the Beartooth, but it deserves most of a day by itself. You could go up the Beartooth and come back to Cody by the Chief Joseph highway, skipping the park, still getting the full effect of mountains, and all of the best switchbacks! Then proceed on to Greybull. Starting from Billings to Redlodge, you will need an hour to get into town.
I have gotten far too familiar with the road from Billings to Greybull, which I use when the weather is questionable. It has its own peculiar graces and beauties...and a very accomplished set of speed traps between the Wyoming State line and Lovell.
