Back by popular demand!
This route takes you through some of the most varied terrain in Montana and Wyoming. This has it all, from high alpine passes to deep red-rock canyons to deserts, wild horse herds, and even a cave with ice that never melts.
This trail is easily accessible to stock rigs unless you're on street tires and have very low-hanging side steps. None of the obstacles have a legitimate bypass, but I've not found any to be particularly challenging or even require a spotter, though we may find one or two spots that need it. There are a few tight, narrow sections, and we do have a good possibility of running into some side by side traffic.
In the spirit of running things backwards this year, we will run this route in the opposite direction from our 2025 run. We'll start by heading up to the big Ice Cave, where we'll stop for a look and to cool off before carrying on up to the summit of the Pryors. We'll crest the mountains and begin dropping down via Sykes Ridge, the more difficult portion of the trip. From there, we can pop over to Devil's Canyon overlook for a nice view and a spot to have lunch, then back onto dirt, where we'll cross the desert area once again and follow Burnt Timber Ridge back to the old homesteader's cabin. We are just about guaranteed to see wild horses, direct descendants of horses brought to North America from Hernan Cortes in the early 1500's.
I do plan on camping this time round, and anyone interested can join me in exploring a shorter bonus run on Sunday, where we'll head up into the canyons on the opposite side of Bighorn Lake.
Hope to see you there!
