The Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway traverses one hundred and sixty two miles through what National Geographic refers to as “one of the finest drives in the Rockies.”   The Byway spans two National Forests, a National Park, US Fish and Wildlife lands, Bureau of Land Management lands, three Wyoming counties, as well as historic, recreation and scenic areas.  It includes several major visitor centers, numerous visitor contact locations, traces four river corridors and provides access to numerous Wilderness trailheads.  The Byway connects the communities of Dubois, Jackson, and Pinedale, each town having unique museums, galleries, events, and activities which add to the adventures and experiences of both visitors and residents.  Many visitors drive portions of the Byway on their way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. 

The Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway constitutes 163 miles of U.S. Highway 26/287 and U.S. Highway 26/89/191 between Pinedale and Dubois, Wyoming.
