点评:From eastbound WY130 To Laramie is 71-miles, through farm and ranchland, forests, and places to camp. The Snowy Range Scenic Byway is a self-driving tour. The road was built as a wagon road in the 1870s. It was paved in the 1930s and designated as the nation’s second Scenic Byway in 1988. The Scenic Byway over the Snowy Range is one of the shortest of Wyoming’s scenic byways, in length, and in the number of months it can be driven, by oh my, is it beautiful! The Byway is the second highest mountain pass in Wyoming, and as such is usually closed at the highest section in mid-November. Snowplows traditionally open the road right around Memorial Day weekend. At the marked pull outs for trailheads, there are vault type toilets. Lake Marie is right next to the highway, and there is a paved walkway along it. The same pathway takes the hiker to Mirror Lake, which is connected by a small waterway. There are many trailheads and pull-outs along the Byway. From there over the pass to Libby Flats, there are wonderful views the Snowy Range. Libby Flats has a large parking area with a vault toilet, but it is windy there.
We also stopped at the Centennial Visitor Center, just inside the west entrance to learn about the area, use the vault toilet and have our picnic. There are two Picnic tables behind the Visitor’s Center. The attendants inside the Visitor Center were quite nice. There is a good selection of wilderness area maps, and gift shop items. The parking area is good sized and near the entrance. The vault toilet was not clean.
翻译:从 WY130 东行至拉勒米,全程 71 英里,途经农场、牧场、森林和露营地。雪岭风景道属于自驾游。这条路建于 1870 年代,当时是一条马车路。它于 1930 年代铺设,并于 1988 年被指定为美国第二条风景道。雪岭风景道是怀俄明州风景道中最短的之一,无论是长度还是驾驶月数,都可以我的,漂亮吗!旁道是怀俄明州第二高的山口,因此通常在 11 月中旬最高部分关闭。传统上,扫雪机会在阵亡将士纪念日周末前后清理道路。在标记的步道入口处,有拱顶式厕所。玛丽湖就在高速公路旁边,沿途有一条铺好的人行道。徒步旅行者可以沿着同一条路到达镜湖,镜湖由一条小水道连接。沿途有许多步道起点和出口。从那里翻过山口到达利比平原,可以欣赏到雪岭的美景。 Libby Flats 有一个很大的停车场,有一个拱顶厕所,但那里风很大。
我们还在西入口内的百年纪念游客中心停留,了解该地区,使用拱顶厕所并野餐。游客中心后面有两张野餐桌。游客中心的服务员态度很好。有一系列精选的荒野地图和礼品店商品。停车场大小合适,靠近入口。金库厕所不干净。
