We loved Wyoming. We saw wolves in Bear Lodge Campground, had a great hike at Devils Tower and got up close and personal with a moose along Prune Creek. My all time favorite though was returning to the Big Horns!
I had backpacked the Big Horns when I was 18 (including 13, 165 foot Cloud Peak) and the range was every bit as beautiful as my memory recorded them. We camped at Porcupine and hiked up to Medicine Wheel. The view was beautiful and the 10,000 some foot elevation got us flat-landers primed for future hikes.
On our way though Buffalo Wyoming, Pete became smitten with the Occidental Hotel (looks right out of an old western!) and insisted we stay the night. I am not usually a beef-eater but... "when in Wyoming...." I had the best fillet mignon in the entire world at the Occidental that night. There was a great coffee shop and gallery across the street. We were pleasantly surprised that they had the best coffee in the world - Alterra - roasted in Milwaukee!
