Right now, Wyomingites everywhere are practicing social distancing to stay safe from the Coronavirus that’s changed life in our country as we know it. If you’re doing your part to save lives and slow the spread of the virus, you might be feeling a little cooped up. Luckily, there are adventures in the Cowboy State that you can still enjoy without putting anyone at risk.
When you need to get out of the house, hit the road and find your way into the heart of Shoshone National Forest.
You can catch a sweeping view of the mountains and valley below you without getting out of your car - perfect for a chilly Wyoming day or when you want to practice some social distancing.
The remarkable history of Dead Indian Summit is a story worth hearing. During the Nez Pierce Wars, Chief Joseph himself led his brave soldiers straight down this mountain to escape harm.
Take the time to look out over Wyoming before heading back down the winding Chief Joseph Scenic Byway - you'll be so glad you took this delightful drive.
