Southwest Rocky Pinnacle Edge Of, Second Roadside Rest Area, Beartooth Highway, WY.
The /\ Above Photo and the next (showing view to right) were taken from the high area of the previous shown & mentioned "a turnoff", which is the Second Roadside Rest Area & Scenic Park.
.As mentioned in the Previous Photo the Beartooth Highway soon 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, will also be shown in the NEXT Photos, taken ~ another mile further SW. As you will see from the Next Photo, its not far until the highway starts the slope on the way down..
