Day 15: Scenic Byways & Mountain Goats – A Day of Breathtaking Views!

Another day, another incredible display of Wyoming's (and Montana's) stunning landscapes! Today was all about hitting those scenic drives, and trust me, they did not disappoint.

First up, we embarked on the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. The views along this road were absolutely amazing! Rolling hills, vast plains, and glimpses of distant mountains made for a truly picturesque drive. But the real highlight? We stumbled upon a live Cattle Drive! It was incredible to see those cowboys (and their incredibly smart dogs!) in full control of the herd, guiding them along. What an authentic Western experience!

Next, we tackled the legendary Beartooth Highway. This road is an engineering marvel and a scenic masterpiece! The views just kept getting more dramatic as we climbed higher, hitting over 11,000 feet in elevation. It felt like we were driving amongst the clouds!

Along the way, we found a couple of great waterfalls, one of which was incredibly powerful – the sheer force of the water was mesmerizing.

High up in the Beartooth, off in the distance, we spotted a band of Mountain Goats! After a short hike out from the road, I was able to get into a good position and capture some truly great photos of them in their natural, rugged habitat. It's always a thrill to see wildlife in such majestic settings.

Today was definitely a day packed with driving and sightseeing, but every mile was worth it for the sheer beauty we witnessed. From vast ranchlands to alpine tundras, Montana and Wyoming continue to blow us away with their diverse and spectacular scenery.

Tomorrow, we'll see what adventure we can get in to!
