History
Morton Pass along Wyoming Highway 34 in Albany County

Wyoming Highway 34 was formerly designated as Wyoming Highway 26 between 1926 and November 1949.[1] The WYO 26 designation was before U.S. Route 26 was extended west across Wyoming to Wheatland where it ended at U.S. Route 87. When US 26 was designated, WYO 26 was renumbered WYO 34 to avoid confusion.[2]
