No region in Wyoming is provided with a more diverse landscape; from lush grasslands to alpine meadows, and rugged mountain tops to canyonlands and desert. Georgeous canyon country is a hallmark of the Forest. Shell, Tensleep and Crazy Woman Canyons are among those that can be enjoyed from your car window. Others, like Tongue and Devil Canyon are better viewed on foot. Another of the many treasures is an abundance of large mountain meadows of yellows, blues, purples, pinks and reds splashed in changing patterns and hues.

The Bighorn National Forest encompasses 1,107,671 acres in the Big Horn Mountains of north-central Wyoming. It is traversed by US 14 (Big Horn Scenic Byway), which crosses 8,950-foot Granite Pass and winds through scenic Shell Falls and Canyon; US 14A (Medicine Wheel Passage), which passes Medicine Mountain near the enigmatic Medicine Wheel; and US 16 (Cloud Peak Skyway), which crosses Powder River Pass (9,677 ft.) and threads through beautiful TenSleep Canyon.

• Traverse the southern Big Horn Mountains and see breathtaking vistas of distant snowcapped peaks along its 45 mile length on the Cloud Peak Skyway.
