Chief Joseph and Beartooth Scenic Highways

From Cody, WY you can take a scenic drive through much of the Chief Joseph and Beartooth Highways. It is an amazing drive closed a lot of the time due to weather. It was an all day drive from Cody and looping through northern Wyoming into Montana and back down to Cody.

The red flower here is Alpine Paintbrush. People come from other countries to see the wildflowers in this part of the US. The Beartooth Highway is closed in winter and often closed in summer due to unexpected snow and ice. We were fortunate to get to make this drive.
