Eastern Wyoming
Our first Wyoming stop was Glendo Lakeside RV Park, about a mile from the lake.
Ayres Park and Natural Bridge on the La Prele Creek is pleasant setting for tenting.
Susan just can't pass up a swing - she may need intervention. Note the cottonwood "snow" on the ground.
La Prele Creek cuts through the red cliffs at Ayres Park.
The sites were rather narrow at Peter D's RV in Sheridan, but the location was great.
Sheridan was celebrating Buffalo Bill Days - Top row Buffalo Bill. Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley below.
Foothills of the Bighorn Mountains.
The Bighorn Mountains were snow capped and the meadows filled with wildflowers.
Our friend Susan Fain recommended Crazy Woman Canyon for scenic drive.
The canyon was very impressive and narrow with an stream cutting through the rocks.
Crazy Woman Canyon is a treat to drive. Just have to miss those large boulders as we ease through.
The red rock at an angle in the distance is called Hogback Ridge. Nothing special, just a nice picture.
We stopped here for lunch on our outing in the Bighorn Mountains. The food was pretty good.
They have a nice setting and folks were fishing and enjoying the pond.
On top of that hill in the distance is Black Mountain Tower lookout. Lets go climb it!
Man, aren't we there yet! You can just see our destination at the top of the mountain in the distance.
Geez, nobody told me there would be edges involved. Whose $%# idea was this?!!
Susan challenges her fear of heights/edges and celebrates her arrival near the top.
The lookout is on top, the outhouse below. You don't want to have any bathroom "issues" at this place!
Of course, the view from the top is spectacular and well worth the climb.
On a perfect day it is beautiful up here. In bad weather it has to be a bit frightening.
On the way back down the Bighorn Mountains we couldn't resist a picture of this impressive view.
This is Kendrick Mansion at Trail's End State Historic Park in Sheridan
The master bedroom.
The attic dance hall.
The drawing room. These folks lived pretty well.
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. This is looking up at the place where Custer had his last stand.
This is looking back down to the visitor center. Custer fell at the granite marker with the flags.
There was also a portion of the National Monument dedicated to the Indians who fought and died here.
As we drove along the monuments grounds it is clear that this is a beautiful area.
Every so often along the battlefield there were markers to note where soldiers had fallen in battle.
There is a theory that the Indians were victorious because they had bigger tents. Naahh!
Our campsite at Devil's Tower was a spectacular location.
The view out the front window from our campsite was pretty nice too.
A few steps from our campsite we could easily see the Tower.
It is hard to get a bad picture of Devil's Tower on a nice day like this.
You can see a few folks honing their climbing skills on the Tower's walls.
Large columns of rock cleaved off from the Tower more than 10,000 years ago.
Devil's Tower rises 800 ft. from its base.
Prairie Dog Town was not far from our campground.
There is a very nice hike (several miles) around the Tower.
Along the way this Sego Lily demanded to have it's picture taken. Susan obliged.
Another beautiful view of the Belle Fourche River near our campground.
One last picture of a classic view of Devil's Tower.
