Your latest images makes me recall being up on the Bear Tooth highway several years back.
I road it on my Harley in 2008 then because I was so impressed with seeing out west I took my wife out in 2009 and rented a car.
We stopped along the summit area approximately 10k or 11k ft and I got the bright idea to RUN over to this cool section of boulders that were just off the road a few hundred feet.
Or so I thought.
Turned out they were closer to 3/4 of a mile away but appeared to be just a few hundred feet away. And did I mention I tried to RUN?
Note: Southern rednecks that live at 965 feet should NEVER run any distance when they are at 10,000 feet. Bad things happen that cause minor abrasions to ones face and hands upon contact with ground.

I did the Bear Tooth once but there was a forest fire so photography was not great. I know what you mean about the altitude. I live at nearly 5,000 feet and have for 5 years, but I still get out of breath. The other part is the clear air you get up high, although we get inversion layer smog when a city is near. But I can drive 15 miles and be at 9,000 feet.
