Snowy Range Scenic Byway

Approximately 30 miles west of Laramie, the Snowy Range Scenic Byway crosses 27 mi of the Medicine Bow National Forest, rising from 8,000 ft on the valley floor to 10,847 ft at Snowy Range Pass, where nearby Medicine Bow Peak towers to 12,013 ft with year-round glaciers. From the Sugarloaf Recreation Area, as well as other trailheads, there are miles of high alpine trails, including a trail to the top of Medicine Bow Peak. Along the byway are other popular recreational activities, including interpretive areas, camping, picnicking, fishing, and OHV riding.

Beartooth Pass

Beartooth Pass is located in both Wyoming and Montana. The highway over Beartooth Pass is the highest paved primary road in Wyoming. From the summit south into Wyoming offers spectacular views and high mountain lakes. This is one of the most beautiful mountain passes that I have been on. This is a lightly traveled part of Wyoming as it is not on the way to anything else unless you are traveling from or to Montana.

Fremont Canyon Bridge and Overlook

The North Platte River runs through a 120 ft deep gorge, which is spanned by the Fremont Canyon Bridge. Just north of the bridge along the canyon rim is a large parking area with a railed overlook, which provides views into the red-walled canyon as well as a good view the old steel truss bridge. This is a popular spot for rock climbers.
