Common-law marriage, also known as sui juris marriage, informal marriage, marriage by habit and repute, or marriage in fact is a legal framework in a limited number of jurisdictions where a couple is legally considered married, without that couple having formally registered their relation as a civil or religious marriage.
WHY ITâS GREAT: This stretch of U.S. Highway 212 between Red Lodge and Cooke City, Montana zigzags across the Montana-Wyoming border through a series of steep switchbacks, rising from about 5,000 feet to 10,947 feet at the Beartooth Pass.
Lewis and Clark Pass is not the lowest pass in the area. Rogers pass is 5.3 miles (8.5 km) to the southwest and is 800 feet (240 m) lower, and Rogers pass carries Montana Highway 200 which crosses the continental divide in this area.
