Top of the World

On our drive from WA to IN last summer, we accidentally went the wrong route out of Yellowstone and ended up on this rather insane highway in WY. Signs at the top of the pass labeled it, "The Top of the World." The sky that night kind of made it feel like the end of the world. We had no idea where we would camp that night as the sun began its descent below the mountains, but we did stop at the top and take in the beauty. It's funny how the unintended stops can be the most memorable ones. And one of the most beautiful places. God saw fit to disrupt my plans that day, and I'm so glad He did. This image hardly does it justice, but I figured I'd post it regardless.
