Big Horn & Medicine Wheel Passage Scenic Byways

July 19, 2014  Ranchester temps hitting 100 degrees at 4:30 pm.  Hot.   In the mountains it was about 70. 
Our loop was Ranchester - west to Burgess Junction, Big Horn Byway Hwy 14 to Greybull, north to Lovell on 310 then west on Medicine Wheel Passage Byway 14a back to Ranchester.

Today was 196 miles of heaven.   Just beautiful scenery one mile after another.  Not for RV's.... we think.   At times it felt like we were driving off the edge of the mountain and at others we were climbing and climbing and climbing while zigzagging to the peak.   So much diverse landscape - from lush grasslands to alpine meadows, from crystal-clear lakes to glacially-carved valleys, from rolling hills to sheer mountain walls.   Elevation starts at about 3700 feet and the up to 10,042 on Bald Mountain. My camera was filled!!!
