Higher Up, the Road Heads in to a Deep Cut Made by a Melt Water Stream, Then Abruptly Turns Right
“The asphalt of the road is much wider and safer than it occurred in memory. On a cycle you have all sorts of extra room. John and Sylvia take the hairpin turns up ahead and then come back above us, facing us, and have smiles. Soon we take the turn and see their backs again. Then another turn for them and we meet them again, laughing. It’s so hard when contemplated in advance, and so easy when you do it.”Approximately Fifth Tier Up, Beartooth Highway MT The highway seen here heads into a sharp right turn and continues up, The road is the gray line up and off the photo to the right. Now look carefully higher up. That’s the highway “on the way back” after going around the mountain, out of view right, completed a switchback (next photo), and then came back around the mountain again! By this time I have lost track of the number of tiers and switchbacks.Click on the WayPt Number to view topo map. When done minimize the Topo Map Browser screen. You will be able to use this.
