Interstate 80 and US30 West in Wyoming
Wyoming and Nevada have a lot of similarities in their highway signs
and they also sound a lot alike.
I80 in Wyoming runs through higher mountains overall than I80 in
Nevada.
I80 in Wyoming also runs through a lot of grass covered landscape. I80
in Nevada mainly runs through sage brush country. You might just see a
buffalo through Wyoming too. The section of I80 shown here is very
rural. Interstate 80 in Wyoming has snow fences near the road in a few sections. Also there are signs on I80 in Wyoming that say you must exit the freeway due to the snow when there are bad winter storms.
Mile 79

Mile 75. The US30 exit leads to the Fossil Butte National Monument. That is what the brown sign here says.

Exit 66
Many trucks take US30 because it
is a shortcut to Oregon compared to taking Interstate 84. US30 and I80
never cross paths again. US30 is the only remaining coast to coast US
highway. It went through about 188 miles of high desert and mountains
to
reach
I15 in Idaho. Kemmerer isn't a big city by any means. It's a
long ride
from I80 to I15! I have only done I80 from here to Wells at night so
there are no photos of that section. My coverage of I80 starts up again in Wells, Nevada. US30 was proposed to be an interstate to I15. It is 188 miles to I15 from here. If you continue to Salt Lake City on I80 you will find Parley's Canyon to be a doozy.
