The Bear Tooth Scenic Byway

We were out the door a little before 8:00 this morning to tackle another scenic drive.  The only obstacle was getting through Yellowstone NP first.  It was a drive of about 100 miles to get to Cooke, WY, where the Bear Tooth begins.  It is supposed to be one of America’s most scenic highways, and turned out to be well worth the trip.
The scenery was outstanding.
It was a good highway (where there wasn’t construction), and it wove up and up and up!
Eventually, I reached the summit at 10,947’.   The view from the top was breathtaking, and so was the wind!  :)  (you can click to enlarge)

Much of the highway is in Wyoming, but after reaching the summit, you continue continue over the top and down into Montana.  I turned around shortly after driving into Montana, as the return trip would take another five hours.
The views are always a little different going the opposite direction on the same road.  :)
Along the way, a mother fox, vixen, crossed the road with her two kits.  These two shots are not very good, but I had to take them through the bug spattered windshield.  Kit on the left, and mom on the right.
But I think this was my best shot of the day.   How alert and full of mischief this little one looks!  It really makes my day when I can capture something like this to remember.

With two trips through Yellowstone today, you know I had to take a picture of a bison.  I only had one chance at a decent shot, so here it is….
                                                                 THE END!  (once again)

Thanks for stopping by….talk to you later,  Judy
