I am assuming your asking if it is good to go with a bus.  I was there a year ago and yes it is relatively flat (compared to steep grade mountain regions).  You won't have a problem.  Don't feed the bears .  I still can't get over the signs up there forbidding the feeding of bears.  I don't need a sign paid for by the gov telling me not to feed the bears.

There is an interesting history about the river there in Thermopolis.  Early explorers noticed the same thing I noticed.  I didn't learn about it unil afterwards.  As your headed south through the Wind River Canyon the water in the river is headed the opposite direction.  Even when your down hill through the canyon it is an optical illusion because you would think you would get closer to the water as you downhill.  You never get any closer.  It is very strange and I told my wife about it.  She then caught on to it as well.  We learned later the early explorers believed their were two rivers in that mountain region.  Only after they explored the canyon did they realize it was only one.  Pretty kewl stuff!!

Walt,
Those don't feed the bear signs could mean the two legged bears that drive the crown vics! LOL!

You did say "yes it is relatively flat (compared to steep grade mountain regions)"

Yessir that hwy isn't bad at all so far as grades.  It would be a pleasant drive and that is coming from someone who doesn't like heights, twisty roads and no guardrail.

Oh and nobody ever said 2 legged bears, they like Jalepeno cheese kolachees!!!   When you feed them their bite isn't nearly as bad.

Matt, 120 is a good road. It has a couple of small pulls. The Eagle will do just fine. I will be going that way next Tuesday. I will pick up any thing that falls off .

Safe Travel
