Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and Beartooth All American Road

Day for sightseeing.  These two roads have been called the most scenic drive in America.  They certainly are the most visually stunning I have seen.

See the road snaking down the side of the mountain?  The whole drive was like that, up and down several mountains and over three passes.  The tallest is a little short of 11,000ft.

This bridge is the highest in Wyoming.

Could not get a decent picture that properly shows depth of canyon.  This might give some idea.  It is taken straight down.

Granite Peak, tallest in Montana.

Back to Cody.  We spent some more time in the museum complex and then back to RV to do laundry.
