Getting high

Yosemite bison

The 'Bus' at the Bearhead Highway gift shop

A pretty tough place to go hiking..but they do have trails
BEARHEAD HIGHWAY, WY - - We've been here before three years ago, but that was in the early summer when there was still plenty of snow and low temperatures.  There was snow on the ground in places where it hadn't melted from a storm two weeks ago which shut down the road.  Topping out at 10,947', the pass is a big draw during the summer tourist season.  There aren't so many folks now that it's mid-September.
     We left our campsite in Bozeman, MT; headed through the northeast corner of Yellowstone NP to reach the beginning of the Beartooth.  And then you start going up and up and up as the road makes switchback after swichback while you watch the road and vehicles way above you. 
     We'll be heading down into Teton NP tomorrow.....or the next day.
