Battle Highway

The Battle Highway along Wyoming’s Highway 70 stretches across the Sierra Madre
Mountains from Encampment to Baggs. The scenic highway is open Memorial Day through
October. Historic sites along the way include Battle ghost town and the Edison Monument
commemorating the place where, while fishing on Battle Lake, Thomas Edison got the idea
for the first light-bulb filament. Battle Pass, on the Continental Divide, provides a sweeping
view of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Traffic on the highway is light and wide shoulders
make this an excellent bicycle route as well.

Length: 28 miles
Time to Allow: 45 minutes
