TwO-Gwo-Tee Pass
The new state highway crosses the
Continental Divide at Twogwotee
pass at $500 feet. This is the
boundary between the Washable and
Teton National Forests. Thru these
beautiful forests for 50 miles, a fine
highway has been built which was
completed in 1924. over the entire
route from Rawlins, the road is
now maintained by the State High
way Commission. Descending the
west slope of the Divide into Jack
son Hole, the traveller first beholds
the majestic Teton Range, stretch
ing north and south along the west
ern horizon for many miles, blue in
the distance and c~loud-capped across
the basin wherein glimmers Jackson
Lake. The highway reaching Moran
turns north, skirting the east shore
of jackson Lake and in 20 miles
more, the Southern Entrance of yell
lowstone Park is reached.
Trout Fishing
The Rocky Mountain Highway, be-
sides opening to tourist travel the
scenic wonders of the Jackson Hole
region, opens up for the State an i'm
mense area of summer country
hitherto cut off from the main travel
led lines. Many fine trout fishing
streams are crossed - Little Popo
Agile, Middle Fork and North FORK,
Little Wind River, Bull Lake Creek,
etc.-all in the vicinity of Lander.
All along the route there are at
tractive spots to camp and fish, or
rest, especially at Bull Lake Creek
and Dubois, where, besides two
town-maintained public c~ampgrounds
there are several mountain hotels,
modernly equipped to take care of
the travellers needs. AT jackson
Lake, neal Moran, are public camps,
and a new, rustic tourist hotel oper-
ated by the Amoretti Hotel & Camp
Company, represents a large invest
ment in accommodations for tourist
travel. This resort - The Jackson
Lake Lodges the stopping place
for the buses en- route to- the Park.
Gas and campers supplies are also
for sale here and at other convenient
points along the route.
Fishing and Big Game Hunting
In addition to good stream hsh-
ing, there is a very large acreage
of lake waters along this route. Louis
Lake, Christina Lake, Bull and
Brooks Lakes, and cores of unnamed
ones, are well stocked both from the
Federal and State Hatcheries. The
fishing in Jackson Lake and the
Buffalo Fork of Snake River in Jack
son Hole has long been a celebrated
feature of the region.
The Southern Route %traverses for
over 100 miles the heart OF the big
game country of Wyoming. The Te-
ton and Popo Agile State Game Pre-
serves are full of elk and deer, herds
of which often cross the Highway
ahead of tourist cars. During the
fall hunting season, more elk are
captured both from the Jackson Hole
slope and the Wind River side than
in all the rest of the State. Noun
tain sheep abound in the higher
mountains above and around Dubois.
Hunting lodges are maintained dur
ing the big game season at Brooks
Lake, Dubois and other points, for
the convenience of hunting parties.
Wyoming, the Vacation State.
Wyoming people as a whole are
beginning to appreciate the beauties
and wonders of u own state, and
each year, larger numbers of bust
ness men are spending their vaca-
tons here, out in the open, beside
our wonderful trout streams or en-
route to the Park in the summer. or
on big-game pack trips in the fall.
