75 yards to almost to about 1/2 way to the monument is very dangerous.

Part of horseback ride out to was on side of mountain with single trail and mountain falling off and big rocks (as big as football and basketball) falling off under horses feet with dirt. No safe on this part. It was beautiful once you got through the bad part but the problem was you have to turn and go back and it was worse going back. Need to find another way in to monument

Trail through pines between Schoolhouse Park & Buffalo Park not marked accurately on map -is further east than map. Also hard to find from Buffalo Park-lots of slash from Aspen Project.
Nice ride & pretty easy trail.

One of my favorite trail rides. Second time Tim and I have been on this trail ride this year. Trail 65 on the map. Tim recorded map and sent to me.

The area has lots of beautiful scenes and plenty of side trails to catch a good view. The trail itself into the pass is very steep in places and overall very rugged given the equestrian traffic churning up the rocks.

We started out about 8am. Had a nice hike up to Willow Lake. I’ll note, that there was a discrepancy on the location of the last portion of the trail leading to the lake. The actual path did not follow the map. Still found a great spot overlooking the lake.

Good hike. Mountains are a bit understated. Phone died at the edge of the lake. Got a bit lost because of it, and I ended up finding the trail by navigating towards the river.

Spectacular views of the Bighorn Mts. are plentiful. The Bighorn Wild & Scenic Run comes down this trail the 3rd weekend of June (generally). Several hundred runners & walkers enjoy the scenic vistas. Pretty year-round!

This a moderate hike that takes you through meadows and a canyon.

This is a moderate in and out hike. At the top of the hill are three coyote sculptures.

Very difficult hike to do in one day. The approach to Penrose was fantastic! Penrose is a man maker. Really tough climbing albeit very safe. It’s like 3 miles worth of boulder hopping.

Exploring from Hunter Campground to 7 Brothers Trail as far as Buffalo Park; then a return via Soldier Park Rd, across ditch and then a nice back trail through the woods back to the campground. There is a nice camping area where the motorized trail ends at entrance to Buffalo Pk; trees, a little grazing and nice creek w fishing.

Worth the hike. Bring your bathing suit. Refreshing! Go with an experienced person, who knows where to slide. Don’t use the slide during high water.

I wouldn’t describe this trail as difficult. It is one of my favorites because it has such variety!

TNC does great work. They also have a very fine facility, and are making improvements in an already wonderful place!

Very nice hike in the Bighorn Mts, yet close to town. Just off the Red Grade Road, this system of trails & parking lot is provided by Sheridan County Land Trust (SCLT), with the help of Sheridan County. Thank you!

The northern Bighorn Mountains are having a fun snow year! Both Meadowlark & Antelope Butte are doing really well. Snow predicted for tomorrow.

Really fun look around a beautiful area. The weather is perfect, and the company is convivial. The Scouts run ahead in a gear that is a faint memory. Everyone is in a great mood!

Easy hike except for a few snowy sections, but no post-holing as the path was well packed. There are rangers at both ends to answer questions. Even though none of the local indigenous people have claimed knowledge or history of the medicine wheel, they still hold ceremonies there. We were told that a ceremony was held just before we arrived and that would have been interesting to see. There are 360 degree views from the top and it was quite cool and breezy up there.
