Location: US-14 and Tongue River Rd, Dayton
Signage as we head out of Dayton indicating that 14 may be closed. Note the peeling legend, a good indicator this was installed by a Montana contractor

US-14 closes in 3 miles when it’s flashing, staying open just to serve a few houses west of town. We’re about to climb straight up those mountains

Location: US-14 and Horseshoe Rd, Sheridan Cty
After we pass the last little neighborhood before beginning to drive straight up, we’re told this is where 14 would close
AMP: 76
Location: US-14 and Black Mountain Rd, Sheridan Cty
Reassurance shield as we make our way up the hill. This hill is a challenge on a vehicle’s transmission- the speed limit is 55 but a normal car can’t comfortably manage more than 35 or 40. Got stuck behind an RV and went 15 MPH another time I drove it.

Location: US-14 and US-14 Alt, Sheridan Cty
After we finally make it to the top of the hill, we come to a junction with US 14 Alternate.

Location: US-14 and US-14 Alt, Sheridan Cty
Left for 14, right for 14 Alternate. 14 Alternate, former Wyoming Highway 14, and before that US-420 (420 woooo), takes a northerly route. It’s a more technically challenging drive and probably takes a little longer, but is quite pretty. The routes rejoin in Cody.
