Bear Tooth Highway

Figures I didnt get a picture of the actual tooth, but there's a sharp mountain feature that looks vaguely like a bear's tooth (perhaps if you are an Indian high on peace pipe).  This was a 10,000 foot climb through some nasty switchbacks and 48F degrees.  There was a couple feet of snow up top, but the last snowfall was about three weeks ago so the roads were fine.  Even though some of the road was under construcion and loose gravel, this windy road made a good transition to my upcoming straight & boring adventure.


If you enlarge this picture and then squint, you will see a tiny speck in the middle.  There were two skiers who must have been dropped off at the top and then ski down into the valley.  It looked really fun.
