Day 245 – Beartooth Country

Day 245 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Beartooth Highway

We spent most of today traveling across Beartooth Highway, a 68-mile stretch of road that opened in 1936 which zig-zags through Rock Creek Canyon and climbs over almost an 11,000 foot pass, making it one of the world’s highest.  As one would expect, the views were spectacular, as evidenced by our first stop at Rock Creek Vista Point, 9,190 feet in elevation.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
