Bighorn National Forest

Very quiet Very crowded it was near the weekend 8064 altitude rough roads into dispersed spots 22 some horse trailers more ATVs there 21 had gate that had to be closed on entry and departure due to deal with private owner - cows roaming

We spent a few hours walking around and enjoying the beautiful views .

Moose is my favorite part of this wonderful place! They have one of the largest moose herd here I heard a ranger said. Black mountain, steamboat lookouts, porcupine falls, medicine wheel are some of my favorites along 14A. There supposed to be also a lot of Elks but I wasn’t lucky enough to spot any. Also, I’d recommend to go to big horn canyon which is not far if you go along 14A west around the exit of the national forest. It’s breathtaking.

October is cold so make sure to prepare but we canped at Middle fork campground and it was amazing. We love the quiet beauty. We saw bison, antelope and a lot of squirrels 🤣. We can't wait to be back next year!

One of God's beautiful creations! 😍 All of it is amazing! The whole park has so many features, and goes on for miles and miles! Just raw beauty in every which direction you see!! Couldn't believe the weather temp difference! Although 8k feet up! Stay and camp if you get the chance! It's FREE for 14 days then you have to move to a different spot but get to stay another 14 days!! WOW so awesome!

This gem of a national forest, is in the way of so many tourists in a hurry to pet Bison in YNP. But there are so many national treasures completely unseen by most. For me, it’s my backyard and I usually spend half of June - September at about 8 to 9,000 ft of elevation. It is an amazing place to loose one’s thoughts of a demanding world and find one’s self and pace of life.

This forest has the best hikes and views! There are trails to lakes that are awesome for fishing if you like to do that. There are many forest roads throughout with little pull-offs that make great campsites provided it's not cold and windy - the views from these campsites are the best for watching the sunset over the mountain range. I was going to camp at one of these since it was a nice warm day, but a fierce freezing wind storm came in the afternoon so we ended up leaving😕.

Drove along 2 of the senic byways - a lovely way to wonder! Hiked out a few trails. Great way to spend a few days.
