Wild Flowers in South Dakota & Wyoming

July 18/2014 Cookin' today high of 94. The West is in a Heat Wave for the next week.   It's amazing how it drops almost 30 degrees at night, low of 58. 
We had an easy 50 mile day just down the road from Buffalo to Ranchester, Wyoming.  Staying at Lazy R Campground at the base of the Big Horn Mountain Range to ride two of the scenic byways.  It's a tiny little campground with maybe two pull thru's but that's ok one is ours and we only needed a couple nights.


Bull Thistle
In South Dakota and Wyoming one thing surprised us was all the wildflowers.   At 4,000 ft elevation or 8,000 ft.  The wide open alpine meadows abound with flowers.
lupines
daisies
Mountain Dandelion blooms at sunrise - My Mom has one!
