On Interstate 90 in Montana, traveling west, climbing up to the Continental Divide. The elevation in this first shot is over 4000 feet above sea level.
The eastern slopes are much drier than the western, so vegetation has a hard time growing.
The elevation at the top of the pass, just east of Butte, Montana, and a reflection of yours truly hiding behind the camera!
Heading downhill now, Butte and a meal stop in the distance. It was a long day!
enjoying your weekend.

Fun shots, I've driven that highway on the way to Spokane. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
I-70, my local east-west interstate, goes under the continental divide at an elevation of over 11,000 feet, and in early April I posted pictures of that tunnel on my blog. But I didn't post the approaches, as it was snowy and there wasn't much to see.
What a nice road to ride by my motorcycle...
:D
TFS and commenting on my blog too!
Happy nice weekend.
I've driven that road before--I LOVE the reflection!
That looks quite a dramatic ride. Those rocks look full of character.

What a neat trip!

I love road trips across our country. It's so interesting to see how the landscape changes. You've captured these changes very well here for Scenic Sunday!
Such fantastic views from that road :)
This is the first time I've seen a reflective GPS :-)
Ahhhhh you've got me dreaming!
That looks like a great place for a road trip. That's a pretty clever place to find a reflection. :)
Yep the covered bridge is just one lane.
We've been on that roadtrip many times; but your pictures are better! Thanks for visting my mockingbird post on FT-L. We're lived our whole (other) life in the Pacific Northwest, and just like you had never seen or heard those birds until we started our RVing life. This is the first time we've had them in our backyard.
Sounds fun ... reminds me of driving through the mountains when I was a kid. My dad would purposely drive near the edge of the road to torture me! I still get ill even thinking about it!
