Favorite Places: Mountain Passes

April 9, 2012 by Pat Bean

“Before computers, telephone lines and television connect us, we all share the same air, the same oceans, the same mountains and rivers. We are all equally responsible for protecting them.” Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Togwotee Pass, Montana

One of the best things about Highway 26 between Dubois and Moran Junction, Wyoming, is the awesome view of the Grand Tetons from the top of Togwotee Pass.

That is an awesome image, Pat. Stunning. Knowing how limited a camera can be with such beautiful landscapes, I can only imagine how breathtakingly beautiful it is to see it in person.

This is an absolutely beautiful picture, it could be used as a picture postcard – or enlarged and hang in your living room! It’s stunning.
Love and laughter is good for our health!

  Thanks. I used to live only four hours away from the Tetons. There is something so peaceful and inspiring about standing in their shadows.

  And if you go to the Tetons, which no one should miss, there’s Yellowstone less than an hour away to the north, and Jackson, Wyoming, less than an hour away to the south. And everywhere is awesome.
