We are continuing our See MT 2019 trip and spent some time seeing the Rocky Mountain Front. We camped for a few nights up the Benchmark Road at Woods Lake. Did some exploring and hiking around. What a great place to feast your eyes on some spectacular scenery. We drove to the end of the road where there are a lot of outfitters taking people into the Wilderness area. We also found a 6000 foot runway up there which I was not aware of. And it is paved! I could land my c-130 there twice with that much runway!! Here are some pictures of the area.

The next day we explored the Teton River after leaving the
camper in the Cave Mountain campground part way up. What a lot of country that area is. There were more people up this road than the
Benchmark road. And the Cave Mountain
campground was almost full when we got back.
