Beartooth Highway
After the wedding, we made our way toward Yellowstone via the Beartooth Highway. This stretch of road has been called the “most beautiful drive in America,” and is only open a few months out of the year because of snow and other extreme weather conditions. It reaches nearly 11,000 feet in elevation at the summit!
We stopped at a few places along the way, including this scenic vista at about 9200 ft.
And then again at the top:
Very cool drive, definitely recommended.

You will find some nice hikes up at Glacier Point that would be superb for the kids. The Taft point hike was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. There are also some good hikes in Toulomne meadows. By the Tioga entrance there’s a trail (Gaylor lakes I think) Lovely High country lakes. You’ll be able to also do the mist trail within the valley for waterfall views up Yosemite falls. I’m terrible about names of trails-I’ve been hiking them all my life, but do not use the correct names!
