Bighorn Scenic Byway & Medicine Wheel Passage
United States · US-14A
Traverses northern Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains past the sacred ancient Medicine Wheel site. The western descent into Lovell features an infamous 10-mile sustained 10% downgrade with steep runaway truck ramps and panoramic views stretching across the entire Bighorn Basin. Demands heavy reliance on engine braking.
