Scenery

From Casper to Riverton the road is pretty straight but great wide open spaces. As you approach Moran Junction you'll enter the Shoshoni National Forest. From Riverton to Jackson you go through the Wind River Range, Bridger-Teton Nat'l Forest, Teton Wilderness Area, and Grand Teton National Forest - wow!!! From Dubois you start to see the Grand Teton's on your right. This is some of the best, if not the best, mountain scenery in all of the US --- Very Scenic! .

Road Quality

Some hills and turns but nothing very sharp. The pavement was very good with some new paving going on (2002).

Roadside Amenities

Lots of camping and parks. Places to eat in all of the small towns. And of course, Grand Teton national park has tons of camping and other outdoor recreation to offer. Jackson Hole is also a major tourist draw and will have plenty of restaurants and shops to keep you and anyone you're traveling with happy - world class amenities.
