What to do and see in Wyoming, United States: The Best Scenic Drives
Wyoming boasts a positively selfish hoard of natural outdoor beauty! From the soaring peaks of the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole valley and Yellowstone National Park, the mountain landscape and natural wonders of Wyoming are breathtaking. All-season outdoor activities prove a natural draw for families, couples and group getaways. Sports lovers golf through spring and summer at attractive rates or tackle river and lake fishing, hunting and hiking. Families take to Alpine skiing and snowmobiling in Jackson Hole, Snow King, Grand Targhee and Pine Creek. Every visitor is awed by the deep canyons and steaming geysers of The Yellowstone National Park. Each magnificent sight rivals the next. The Grand Tetons rise over a mile above Jackson Hole valley, where a ride on the Aerial Tram from Teton Village offers unforgettable views. Across the entire state, wildlife stakes its rightful claim, from bison and bighorn sheep herds to black bear and mountain elk. For a step back in frontier history, take the family to Go Native America to experience Native American culture, history and arts of the Plains Tribes. Enjoy tours with indigenous guides, horseback riding and roping lessons. With every experience, your family will gain a sense of the pioneer spirit that pushed America westward.

A well-paved scenic road.

We drove this road early in the morning and at dusk to see wildlife. We were lucky to see bull elk bugling and lots of pronghorn antelope.
2. Beartooth Highway

Nestled between two scenic wilderness areas, this drive is considered the "most beautiful road in America."
Reviewed By rowenam872 - Shell, United States
“ The above is a quote from our Swiss friend. Peaks rising over 12,000 ft including the state’s tallest. The Beartooth Plateau is one of the largest landmasses in the United States above 10,000 feet. Hope you find the mountain that looks like a Bear Tooth, I can’t. There are many pointed peaks. Add a mountain goat and pica to this. Lakes, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, and an extreme skier may ski into July. This is Heaven for botanists, wetland ecologists, hydrologists, and soil scientists due to the Mountain fens (peat-accumulating wetlands) or groundwater-dependent habitats. Read the other Advisor notes before you go. They mention the weather. That can change any day.

This drive is simply amazing. Right off the bat we saw a large herd of antelope. The views are spectacular and we saw so many beautiful plants and wildlife. We stopped and stuck our feet in Dead Infian Creek and enjoyed various stops along the way.

If you have limited time in the park this is the best route to take. Whether you start at Moose Entrance, Moran Entrance or Jackson Lake Junction you will follow the Teton Park Road with close views of the lakes and Teton Mountains and Highway 89 through the open plains along the Snake River. Take as much time as possible to stop for photo shoots of Jackson and Jenny Lakes and it is worth taking the turn-off to Schwabacher Landing just off Highway 89. Dornans at the southern end of the park is good for food and gifts as is Jackson Lake Lodge.

This is a spectacular drive! Many great hiking trails and picnic spots, scenic views and turnouts. Trout fishing and beautiful fall colors. The elevation goes up quickly from 7,100 feet in Centennial to over 10,000 feet at a Libby Flats.

This route is an amazing drive into the park, with large herds of buffalo grazing in vast fields on both sides of the northeast entrance road. It seemed that our visit coincided with birthing season, when lots of calves were just joining families. They're an unusual orange-brown color, compared with the very dark fur of their parents.' Tourists parked all over the sides of the highway to stop for close-up photos these incredible animals. When I say close-up, I mean with a good zoom. Park signage warns you not to get nearer than 75 yards because the animals are very fast and, if they feel like their babies are threatened, they will charge. We were very fortunate to also spot a small herd of pronghorn elk grazing not far from the road and got some great pix. The drive itself is beautiful, with mountains off in the distance, and a river winding through vast green along and around the roadway.
