The Bighorn National Forest is a wonderfully diverse region, with open hills and plateaus in the north and granite cliffs in the south. While the southern Cloud Peak region is designated wilderness, the remaining forest is well roaded and available for wheeled exploration. Wildlife is abundant and meadows are lush with beautiful wildflowers, especially in June and July. The forest is well used by locals who appreciate what it offers.

Elk, moose, deer, sandhill cranes all seen within a few hours of setting up camp. Roads are well maintained. Amazing geological features. So many adventures await! Pick up a Bighorn National Forest map at the Burgess Junction information center or in Sheridan WY ranger station for $10 so you can plan your exploration of this amazing place.

Beautiful scenic drive through the park. You can take 14 or 14 alt and they are both filled with amazing views and plenty of pull offs. Route 14 has a higher grade so keep that in mind for driving and towing. Not very crowded as well which makes it all the better for enjoying the beauty of nature.

What an incredible wilderness area. Awesome camping areas. And spectacular views all the way up. Saw some large moose. A bit less traveled than the CO Rockey Mtns. And far more beautiful than the Larime and Rawlins area (a bit of a pit there). Recommended. One of a kind area!

I drove through Bighorn National Forest from Dayton to Shell on US 14. The drive is amazing and there are many locations for hiking and camping. I definitely recommend stopping at the Sibley Lake picnic area, as well as the Shell Creek Rest Stop.

When you visit this area and you are not taken by the scenery then you missed it . Overwhelming cliffs, mountains and bluffs. I could not believe how beautiful the mountains were. When we travel west we will definitely travel through this area.

Went through the Big Horn at different locations on our way to/from South Dakota. The roads are in good shape, the views are awesome! Ample look out pull offs. Places for snow mobiles, camping, hiking, cycling, rock climbing... Lots to do!

Tina Collett
Very scenic drive. It has lots of recreational opportunities including hiking, camping, fishing, canoe/kayaking, rock climbing, and the list goes on. Lots of historic places as well as geologic sites. It has something for everyone,

Awesome piece of land, pics are from the edge of the bighorn after miles of hiking. Sights like no other place... must see in the summer/spring as well as winter (below freezing 200 days a year). Enjoy!

Would highly recommend coming here for a hike or camp, or even just driving through. Back in the Spring of 2014 I spent some time here on the way west to Cody and saw a couple moose and bighorn sheep.
JE

Grew up near here and still live spending time in the Bighorns. Access is excellent even to more remote areas (this can lead to more people too though). Plenty of campgrounds and places to explore.

My GPS sent me through Bighorn NF on my way to Yellowstone. It was gorgeous. Incredible views of deep canyons and waterfalls. It was one of the highlights of my trip and I intend to return.
