We continued south from Thermopolis. Hwy 20 runs through the Wind River Canyon. It was kind of a weird optical illusion, but both John and I thought that the road was going down hill, and it looked like the river was running up hill as it flowed north. If it weren't for the GPS telling me that we were gaining altitude, I wouldn't have believed it.
Further up stream is the Boysen Reservoir Dam.
We passed through Shoshoni, over to Morton, and up hwy 26 to Dubois, where we stopped for lunch.

We turned left at Moran Junction, and headed for the Grand Tetons.
We rode through Jackson, then west on WY-22, over the Teton pass and into Idaho.
Near the Teton Pass.
We spent the night at the Motel 6 in Idaho Falls.
We were thinking of trying to make the coast, but we only have until the 20th. We have changed our plans and will most likely be spending the next few days exploring the many scenic byways in Idaho.
Nice pics, looks like it was a great ride. The scenery there looks magic. Are there lots of twisties in this area?
ReplyDeleteChillertek, the road along Wind River wass nice and so was the road over the Tetons.
ReplyDeleteWe try to avoid large straight highways and stick to the less traveled 2 lane roads!!
