Southwest Rocky Pinnacle Edge Of, Second Roadside Rest Area, Beartooth Highway, WY.
The /\ Above Photo (and the Previous Photo), were taken from the high area of the previous shown & mentioned, "a turnoff" Roadside Rest Area & Scenic Park.
As you can see from the /\ Above /\ Photo, its not far, until the highway starts the slope on the way down, and soon will be into another series of seven switchbacks, on a slope as steep as those on the way up! And soon we will be in the Lakes and Valleys of the Narrator's Philosophic High Country.
.To get to Yellowstone National Park (YNP) (Northeast gate), this road must go South deeper into Wyoming as it swings around the mountain range that forms the headwaters of Rock Creek. After that it goes West for ~10 miles, then heads somewhat Northwest thrrough a different and wider valley and leads to crossing yet another mountain range.
