Five More Switchbacks Are Ahead As We Get Ready To Head Down.
.The backfiring is still fairly heavy on the way down from the summit with the engine dragging in second gear,
.
About A Mile SW Of Narrators The Summit , Beartooth Highway, MT. About a mile after the a turnoff Roadside Rest Area & Scenic Park, the Beartooth Highway starts another series of five switchbacks on a slope down, as steep and twisty, as scenic as those on the way up! Soon after that, there are two more switchbacks, which bring the ZMM traveler to the valleys with mountain lakes and pines .
.These switchbacks and the lakes are shown in the next two photos, which were taken ~ another mile further SW..
