Hurricane Mesa

Hurricane Mesa rises above Chief Joseph Scenic Highway near the turnoff to the Beartooth Highway. Also known as Sunlight Basin Road the Chief Joseph links the town of Cody with the Beartooth Highway and the Northeast Gate of Yellowstone National Park. The route crosses the Shoshone National Forest through the Absaroka Mountains to the Clarks Fork Valley. The Beartooth Mountains and the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River lie to the north of the road, and the Absaroka Mountains and North Absaroka Wilderness are to the south.
