Scenic Byways

Yesterday, I took a ride on the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway in Wyoming,that leads to the eastern entrance of Yellowstone. It transects the Beartooth Mountain Scenic byway into Montana. Gorgeous views and wild roads to say the least! I was hoping to see some wildlife, but I didn’t.

Views along Chief Joseph





And at the end was a view of Beartooth Mountain. This is an impressive mountain at almost 11,000 ft.



The beartooth highway takes you right on top of it. Let’s go!

More gorgeous views of mountain lakes





And snow! Hard to imagine snow in August, but it’s there. And it was cold on top too.



And here we are at the top



And here we are looking down. These were the kind of 20 mph switchbacks that took to get up here! It was impressive to say the least.



Today, I left Cody enroute to Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. Sadly, this will be the last National Park on the list for this summer.
