Beartooth Highway Memorial Day 2009

Posted on May 25, 2009 by Leslie

Took a ride on the Wyoming side of the Beartooth highway yesterday. Amazingly, with all this snow, its open now. I live about 20 minutes from the highway, and only drove up to Long Lake. Its like winter all over again up there, while its fast becoming a distant memory down here at 7500′. In places, water was flowing fast across the highway. Large chunks of snow had fallen and blocked a few places, but the crew seemed to clear them pretty fast. Here are a few photos taken yesterday of the highway Charles Kuralt called the most beautiful highway in America. If you go, bring your skis.
