Van Life - Wyoming Scenic Drive: Wind River Canyon - Shoshoni to Thermopolis, WY

Road Trip: Wind River Canyon Scenic Byway with BackroadsVanner. Read the full story at www.backroadsvanner.com/all-po...
Come along with us as we take a scenic drive through the Wind River Canyon in Wyoming on U.S. Highway 20. We’re just southeast of Yellowstone on the Wind River Canyon Scenic Byway.
As we wind through the canyon, you can see the spectacular rock walls rising 2,500 vertical feet on either side of us. These are some of the oldest rock formations in the world, dating back to the Precambrian period, more than 2.9 billion years ago!

I have driven this road so many times. It's actually an optical illusion. You could swear you were going down hill coming and going. It's actually a level road. The mountains make you think it's going down hill. One day I was so curious about it that I stopped my car and put it in neutral expecting it to roll forward. When it didn't move I figured out it was an optical illusion.

Just made that trip in my van then cut across the southern bighorn mountains to Buffalo Wyoming. Was well worth it.

[@tjac275677]

We used travel that road so many times when we lived in Casper

[@jamesjackson9145]

We used to live in Casper and would go to Thermopolis to swim. We lioved to swim there especially in the winter when it was bitterly cold.we would have snow ball fights outdoors and then jump in the water. It would be zero outside but the mineral water was so warm.

Hi Vanners! Just found you today WOOOHOOOO! I'm not yet in the van, still in the planning stage. I love your tutorials and wanted to say thanks for the great videos!

[@BackroadsVanner]

+Marsha Wallace Thanks so much Marsha! We're glad you found us!

[@cougar_mountain]

I am one of the guys that would have loved to see the whole uncut trip all the way from one town to the other. Love the trip however. Thinking of moving out that way in a year or two.

[@peterbrusselers2546]

Beautiful video. We will have to travel this road this August and September on our trip west.

[@BackroadsVanner]

+peter brusselers AWESOME! One of our favorite areas of the country... including Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Be sure to drive the Wind River Canyon in both directions - it's a cool drive. Enjoy your trip and share photos with us on facebook.com/backroadsvanner/!!

I live in Thermopolis. It's hard to film but this is a very good video. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid hide out near the tunnels. I lived on boisen peak back in 1963 for a couple of weeks. My dad ran the TV transmitter. Back when Thermop had a TV station. Very good video.

[@DannyJLlera]

I imagined it and so it turns out someone is already doing it. Sweeeeet video!! 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for the positive energy.

Hi Mike and Shannon! Really pretty country. I was really fortunate to have gotten to see a lot of places like this for 38 years...BUT!...it was just a little hard to stealth camp an 18 wheeler!!! Keep the videos coming! ...JIM (aka TXRODEHOG)

[@BackroadsVanner]

+JIM BRIDGES Lol, yep, probably pretty hard to hide one of those big guys! But no matter what vehicle we are all driving - it's so great to get out there and hit the back roads and see this awesome country of ours! 10-4 good buddy! Lots more coming so please stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

[@russpost2557]

[@corakiart]

Nice but I would rather you talked more. Coming out to Wyoming for vacation. Getting an idea of places to see.

[@BackroadsVanner]

We LOVE Wyoming and Montana! Check our site and Facebook as we often post info about that area. Did you drive Bear Tooth Pass and travel every road in Yellowstone and Grand Teton? It's all amazing!

[@vandirazevedo]

problems with the audio. I can hear the introduction, but when you speak into the microphone I can not hear.

[@BackroadsVanner]

+vandir azevedo Sorry Vandir. We can hear the voice audio on all devices. Not sure what the issue is but we are sorry you are having trouble. It might be that certain audio is coming from only the L or R speaker. Thanks for watching.

[@vandirazevedo]
