5 Wyoming Mountains Ranges Worth Escaping To PLAN THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME

The Laramie Mountains – This range in the Medicine Bow National Forest is extremely underrated. Its peaks — including the 10,272- foot Laramie Peak — run through Wyoming and Colorado and are home to excellent campgrounds and hiking trails. Try the Sunset Ridge Trail for a casual starting hike. The Teton Mountain Range – We can’t leave the Tetons off this list! The Tetons are part of Grand Teton National Park, which crosses the Idaho-Wyoming border and was established in 1929. Fun fact: “America’s first mountain man,” John Colter, is said to have traveled through the Tetons in the early 1800s after splitting from the Lewis and Clark expedition.

This summer, the CHB team will meet many of our broker partners in Jackson, Wyoming, for 2022 Broker Weekend. Jackson is the perfect spot for hiking, climbing, and fishing because it’s located beside the famous Teton Mountain Range. The Tetons often get top billing when out-of-state visitors talk about Wyoming, but they aren’t the only range in our state worth escaping to! If you’re planning a getaway to the Cowboy State, put at least one of these ranges on your list. The Bighorn Mountains — This 150-mile-long mountain range straddles the Montana-Wyoming border and features peaks that average 8,000–13,000 feet tall. The range’s Bighorn National Forest is home to 32 campgrounds, 14 picnic areas, visitor centers, ski areas, lodges, recreation lakes, scenic byways,

and more than 1,500 miles of trails. That’s a lot of options for visitors! Medicine Mountain — This peak in the Bighorns features the Medicine Wheel, a wheel- shaped limestone rock feature the Wyoming Historical Society describes as “an important prehistoric archeological landscape as well as an ancient Native American spiritual site where tribal ceremonial activity continues to this day.” You can hike to the site from June–September. The Snowy Range Mountains — There are more than 100 lakes tucked between the Snowy Range’s granite peaks, and they are great spots for fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The Snowy Range Ski Area is also worth a visit. To see the Snowies from your car, check out the Snowy Range Scenic Byway.
