Medicine Bow National Forest
Another try out of our new little pop-up camper, we headed out for our first visit to the Medicine Bow National Forest. This do-able distance from where we live in Colorado made for a nice 3 day weekend. How relaxing it was to get away. We saw some majestic mountains, and wonderful wildflowers - always a treat.
Per WIKIPEDIA, the "Medicine Bow National Forest (1,096,891 acres) is located in southeastern Wyoming and was originally created as a forest reserve in 1902. Named after the Native American powwows in which numerous tribes would congregate here in search of mountain mahogany, which was an excellent wood for the manufacturing of bows, and to perform rituals hoped to cure diseases and thus make "good medicine".
Areas of interest include the Snowy Range where the highest peak is Medicine Bow Peak at 12,013 feet (3,662 m) and is visible from Snowy Range Pass, 10,847 ft (3,306 m), on Wyoming highway 130." End quote.
Take note that this is bear country. Since we were in a soft side unit we stashed away all our food items every night inside our truck. Visit this area. You will be pleased!
