Day five ends in Rawlins, WY. We stopped at the Territorial Prison this morning in Laramie, and it was really neat. I'm going to attempt to post pictures, and you may see some familiar faces in prison. The highlight of our trip today was the Snowy Range Scenic Byway on our way to Rawlins. It includes the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest of Wyoming Highway 130. It took about an hour to drive through, and it was breathtaking. We took pictures at the peak which was 10, 847 ft. It's unbelievable how much snow is up there. The road was perfectly clear, but there was snow covering the sides of the road because of the high elevation. Mom actually found out about the byway from a lady who worked at the prison. She suggested that if we had the time, it would be worth it to drive through since it was on our way. The pictures won't do it justice; the mountains almost didn't look real...it was amazing.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Also, tonight we ate at a place called Penny's Diner where it so happens that Tuesday is free pie night. Folks, I've finally found home!
Tomorrow we will be in Rock Springs where we hope to see some wild horses. Tomorrow is also David's birthday, and what a beautiful place to spend a birthday!
Enjoy the pics :)
