Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway is in the U.S. state of Wyoming and extends from Dubois, Wyoming for 163 miles (262.3 km) to Pinedale, Wyoming. The scenic byway passes through both Shoshone and Bridger-Teton National Forests as well as Grand Teton National Park. Jackson, Wyoming is the largest town on this scenic byway which also borders the National Elk Refuge in Jackson Hole. Crossing the Continental Divide at Togwotee Pass, sweeping vistas of the Absaroka Mountains and the Teton Range are plentiful. The scenic road follows U.S. Routes 26/287 and 189/191.

Following in the footsteps of famous mountain men such as John Colter and David Edward Jackson, the Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway provides access to sagebrush covered plains and dense coniferous forests.
