This is a wonderful drive on this Byway, very scenic with the mountains & there was still snow on the mountains which added to this drive.
You will not find scenery like this anywhere. The fishing is great at all the roadside lakes and the wildlife is abundant. Watch for moose, elk, deer, pika, marmots, and who knows what else. You will enjoy this drive, which doesn't take you too far off of the main interstate.
Snowy range towers sharply above the surrounding mountains. A light grey color makes them look like they have snow on them all year.
Alpine meadows, great hiking trails and views that go on forever. And quaint mountain communities on either side!
Wonderful experience. The view's with the sun coming up are to die for !! If you are in the area, it is a great drive.
I took some wonderful fall photos on this drive. I especially loved the top of the world view from the turret on the summit and Mirror and Marie's Lake. The aspens were also spectacular.
Crossing Wyoming in October, I wasn't sure what the drive would be like. I've been in the area in the summer and really enjoyed it though. It was a spectacular drive! We made several stops and even though it was cold, wet and windy, took the bike for a spin too. Beautiful area and amazing views.
So beautiful . So tranquilVisiting Laramie from Ireland and went to the snowie mountains for the day stopped off at lake Marie , unbelievably gorgeous
The snowy range, including Medicine Bow mountain and nearby peaks is a great place for hiking, picnicing, and gazing at the mountains. We have been going for many years, and really enjoy it. This past August was really wonderful at the snowy range, and we enjoyed many of the day hikes. Even though I am 75, I can still hike quite a way into the mountains, and see the birds, animals, and rocks.
Great hiking and 4-wheeling and the Snowy Range scenic byway is very scenic. Well worth the trip. A must do in this area.
