Battle Pass Scenic Byway (WY-70)
A 57-mile paved route along WY-70 through the rarely visited Sierra Madre Mountains in Medicine Bow National Forest, running from Encampment to Baggs. The road crests Battle Pass at 9,955 ft on the Continental Divide, with tight curves through granite peaks and glacial lakes on the descent toward Savery. Light traffic, wide shoulders, and nearly zero crowds make this the most underappreciated high-altitude run in Wyoming.
