And as promised, thanks to David's suggestions, and hopefully to Elle's delight, here's the first of a series of images I took during my WY. trip.
Right now entering TenSleep, aka Signal, after having driven for almost three hours from Cody via Greybull, Manderson and Worland. The excitement of getting there was great, you bet... too bad I was unable to locate Aguirre's trailer, but nevertheless it was already too late in the summer to get a job up on Broke(n)back! Had ice cream and a few postcards at Dirty Sally's instead...

And then, past TenSleep, I drove uphill on the winding road leading to Meadowlark Lake. Somewhere, around there to my right, was the Mountain. It was already 5.30pm and I had to get back to Cody, so didn't have much time left to venture offroad. Neither I had a detailed map to show me which dirt road led to the Brokenback Mountain summit, but I was happy enough I had been able to make it very near to my target, and promised to myself I wouldl come back and make it up there someday.
The scenery was rugged and grand, and Meadowlark Lake seemd a very peaceful place.

The next day, following EdelMar suggestions, I headed from Cody to Yellowstone via the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. This picture lets you understand why it's called "scenic". I took it from the top of Dead Indian Pass: a cold wind was blowing and the scenery was stunning, overlooking the Beartooth Mountains and the Absaroka Range.

Past Dead Indian Pass, I faced this amazing mountain and view. The light too was perfect for taking a picture, reminding me scenes from the movie. Can anyone identify the place, though I suspect it was called Table Mountain.
luigival:
Almost three hours after having left Cody I crossed into Montana (Cooke City) and then entered the Yellowstone Park through Silver Gate, and found myself back to Wyoming. Half an hour later, driving along the Soda Butte Creek plain, a herd of buffalos crossed my way. That was amazing, and as soon as I had passed them I took this shot while driving.
I love it. It reminds me of another very familiar scene: just substitute Ennis for the buffalos and you'll see why!
