    Amazing views. Breathtaking scenery. Get someone else to drive while you look all around. Stop at all the turnouts and take a breath of that fresh clean mountain air.

    Beautiful place for a nice by-way drive along ALT-14. A spectacular mountain range to camp on and breath taking viewing sites. I drove through here during the late evening and early morning. Here's some photos

    Free National Forest dispersed camping 9.6 miles west of the far edge of Buffalo on Highway 16. Small sign on right says Grouse Mountain---turn left and there's parking for over a mile alongside the road in the grass. No amenities. Good news is you're twenty-three hundred feet above the town so cooler weather, also you can see the Telecom towers eight miles away and there's terrific cell service. Buffalo is a little old mining and railroad town from the 1880s that's only about 4,400 people, 4600 FT elevation. But there's a couple of saloons historic district a few things to see and do.

    We always have the best time in the big horn National Forest. When visiting the national forest it is best to have a good off roading vehicle. A lot of the roads are pretty rocky.

    My beloved BigHorn Mtns ... I can go on and on because my history with these mountains goes back to childhood ... There is no place like it!! We stayed at South Fork Lodge where the staff is wonderful, hospitable folks. They are helpful & accommodating, the cabins are so quaint and rustic with THE MOST comfortable beds!! You will definitely pass yourself a great time here!

    One of God's beautiful creations! 😍 All of it is amazing! The whole park has so many features, and goes on for miles and miles! Just raw beauty in every which direction you see!! Couldn't believe the weather temp difference! Although 8k feet up! Stay and camp if you get the chance! It's FREE for 14 days then you have to move to a different spot but get to stay another 14 days!! WOW so awesome!

    Beautiful national forest with lots of wildlife, trees, trails, wild flowers and great fishing. If you are camping in the back country or picnicking for the day, there is something for everyone here.

    A group of us climbed the trail to lookout tower. It was a pretty easy climb. The view was well worth the climb.

    The bighorns are gorgeous with amazing wildlife and views. Very well kept by the rangers and all wildlife management. 1000/10 would recommend Circle Creek Park dispersed camping.

    Absolutely beautiful, this trip was devoted to a fall motorcycle ride. Rode down 16 through tensleep, up to greybull, then back through the bighorns using 14. If you're headed to yellowstone, heed the signs directing you to this drive, you wont be disappointed.
