Along the Road

U.S. Highway 26/287 crosses the Continental Divide and heads west to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park The drive offers a little-known and real-life patch of the legendary West with spectacular vies. Along the way, stop in at the local guest ranches and lodges for an overnight stay.
The highway winds through broad valleys, pine forests and mountain scenes to the summit, where the Pinnacles - a series of jagged peak - rise to crown the ridge and beyond to the Continental Divide at Togwotee Pass (elevation 9,658 feet). You might see patches of snow at the divide!
