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.

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.

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!

One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. From the gigantic mountains, to the lush forest, and all the animals wandering the majestic landscape, I felt like I was a tiny little ant. Places like this really make you realize how lucky we are to be alive.

My beloved BigHorn Mtns ... I can go on and on because my history with these mountains goes back to childhood ... There is no place like it!! We stayed at South Fork Lodge where the staff is wonderful, hospitable folks. They are helpful & accommodating, the cabins are so quaint and rustic with THE MOST comfortable beds!! You will definitely pass yourself a great time here!

Amazing views. Breathtaking scenery. Get someone else to drive while you look all around. Stop at all the turnouts and take a breath of that fresh clean mountain air.

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😕.

Free National Forest dispersed camping 9.6 miles west of the far edge of Buffalo on Highway 16. Small sign on right says Grouse Mountain---turn left and there's parking for over a mile alongside the road in the grass. No amenities. Good news is you're twenty-three hundred feet above the town so cooler weather, also you can see the Telecom towers eight miles away and there's terrific cell service. Buffalo is a little old mining and railroad town from the 1880s that's only about 4,400 people, 4600 FT elevation. But there's a couple of saloons historic district a few things to see and do.
