Yesterday on 5/12/13 went hiking in the Bighorn Mountains west of Buffalo, Wyoming. Here is what the view looked like from Elgin Park Road.
The mountains appear very blue and even moreso when I photograph them.
Already people are camping in the mountains here. Dispersed camping (14 days free) is allowed and they take full advantage of that -- many bring campers and RVs and also atvs and even horses to explore where you can't take a regular vehicle.
This is the area where I saw a large herd of female elk last year. I looked for antlers but didn't find any.
Because of the recent snows in April and early May, the mountains still have a lot of snow in the forests and on the roads. I decided not to drive my four wheel drive truck and hiked in. Soon though with warmer temperatures, the snow will melt and roads will dry up so I can explore further into the wilderness.
