How To Travel on the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway
I did not know what to expect. It was something new to me, something that would become a fascinating place to discover, many times over. But for now, a camera was poised as we drove further, further onto a road, ivory clouds hanging low, with a touch of gray positioned on the bottom, ready to spill out something that I was hoping would not. It was a spring day with a firm chill in the air, you could almost see your breath as you stepped outside of your vehicle.
Slopes of mountains ranged all around me, with dots of water here and there, and a sense of peace clung onto the heavy air. I turned my head from left to right and right to left, capturing the intense scene on each side, with a burst of trees, new blades of grass popping up, but an ever watchful eye on the clouds that were threatening our wonder.
All of a sudden, white, frosty flakes were spilling down from the heavens, and unfortunately, we admitted defeat, turning our vehicle back to safety, as finishing the trail was a “no-go.” But we knew we would be back, with the impatience of waiting and wondering, but ever determined to visit this amazing byway!
Have you been on a SCENIC byway and were absolutely mesmerized about it, even could not wait to tell your friends all about it? Someone has to brag, right? This is one of those “byways” that should be on your bucket list, especially if you visit nearby Yellowstone!
