2020 Montana / Wyoming Photos
A rather large selection of images from our 2020 trip to Montana and Wyoming. If there are too many images here, I apologize -- I'm a lousy editor. Also, I like panos. And rocks. So there are lots of panos of rocks . . .

![]() Just outside Red Lodge, MT | ![]() Just outside Red Lodge, MT | ![]() Entering the Beartooth HighwayWe were amazed the road was open, as they often can't clear the snow until later in the summer. As it was, they ended up closing the highway the day after we drove through it, due to an overnight snow storm. | ![]() On the Beartooth Highway | ![]() On the Beartooth Highway | ![]() On the Beartooth Highway | ![]() On the Beartooth Highway | ![]() On the Beartooth HighwayAny roadway you can see in this image is all the same road -- the Beartooth Highway. It just wraps back and forth, back and forth, all the way up, and then all the way down. |

So when you drive up, you drive up to the back of the house, and enter through what is supposed to be the back door. ‾\_(ツ)_/‾ | ![]() Near Red Lodge, MT.This was an abandoned coal mine just off the road into town. There was a terrible disaster there in 1943 that killed quite a few miners. | ![]() Near Red Lodge, MT.This was an abandoned coal mine just off the road into town.

I didn't -- until I got all the way home and saw the image on the big monitor. Quite a surprise. I think he was quite aware of our presence -- he's looking right at me. | ![]() Near Red Lodge, MT.And there he is.

![]() Ovelooking Red Lodge, MT.In the original image, you can see so much detail that you can almost read the signs. | ![]() The Chief Joseph HighwayThis is the other main way to get from Red Lodge to Yellowstone (the other being the Beartooth HIghway). It was overcast and rainy all day, so we got what we got, and had to be happy about it. But it's beautiful country. | ![]() The Chief Joseph HighwayThis is the other main way to get from Red Lodge to Yellowstone (the other being the Beartooth HIghway).

But it's beautiful country. | ![]() The Chief Joseph HighwayOnce again, you can see how the road keeps turning back on itself as it winds up and down the mountains. This has to be some of, if not THE, most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen, and I know I haven't come close to doing it any justice. | ![]() The Chief Joseph HighwayOnce again, you can see how the road keeps turning back on itself as it winds up and down the mountains.

Very secluded, very quiet (except for the sounds of the rushing water). We love to sit under the trees, and enjoy our lunch. | ![]() Yellowstone National ParkThe same snowstorm that closed the Beartooth Highway dumped some snow on us (just flurries, really, but, it was June, ya know?) and on the trees in the upper elevations of Yellowstone. You can see the trees beyond the foreground trees are pretty much covered. |
![]() Yellowstone National ParkThis has to be the sorriest looking Bison I've ever seen. Poor guy must have come awfully close to starving over the winter. Felt bad for him. | ![]() Yellowstone National ParkThe Bison on the left looked even worse that the previous one. The mamma and baby looked pretty healthy, but they were obviously still undernourished. | ![]() Yellowstone National ParkOsprey nest. If you look along the top right edge of the nest, you might be able to see the head of the chick. This chick is almost ready to get kicked out of the nest, but he's hanging on. | ![]() Yellowstone National ParkOsprey nest. | ![]() Yellowstone National ParkOsprey nest. | ![]() Yellowstone National ParkOsprey nest. | ![]() Yellowstone National ParkWhile you're waiting on the osprey to do something interesting, you look for other things to shoot.

![]() Yellowstone National ParkIf you've ever heard the song, "Home On The Range," you know that it's where the "deer and the antelope play." Wrong. There are no antelope in North America. The antelope are in Africa. These little guys, who are often mistaken for antelope, are actually pronghorns.

We thought it would be a short trip. Turned into an all day affair. But it was beautiful. And Alpine turned out to be a gated community that we couldn't get into any way. So these were all shot along the road into and out of Alpine. | ![]() Alpine, MTI love rock formations. Don't know anything about geology, but I love the big rocks. |

Not a cloud in the sky. So we stopped here to shoot more rock photos. Love them rocks.

That part of Wyoming is pretty flat so we could see them from some distance. This downburst caught our attention, and since there was a rest stop handy, we stopped and shot some photos. There were several of these storms that afternoon, and we managed to avoid driving through all but one . . . |
