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.
There are two great passes on this ride, Beartooth in Montana (10,947 feet) and Dunraven in Wyoming (8859 feet). Each is the highest driveable point in its respective state. It's always intensely chilly up here and you can make snow angels in August alongside the road.
