The Chief Joseph Scenic Highway commemorates the flight of Chief Joseph and his Nez Perce down the valley of the Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone which they continued to follow up into Montana as they ran for the Canadian border (in hopes of gaining their freedom back). This is a 47-mile route on paved road through spectacular countryside. The northern end of the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway is on the Beartooth Highway, the southern end about 17 miles northwest of Cody on State Route 120. In between are many great views of the Valley of the Clarks Fork and of the surrounding mountains. |
