Continuing my drive towards Yellowstone, now along the Cloud Peak Skyway National Scenic Byway. Making a quick stop at the Loaf Mountain Overlook to check out the scenery of the Bighorn National Forest.
An informational sign titled “Forest Mosaic” detailing timber harvesting practices, and a diagram of the peaks including Loaf Mountain, Bighorn Peak, and Darton.
First time ever being this close to mountains in my life today. I have very few words to describe the feeling so I will let the picture do the talking. Some small pockets of bright yellow aspens in the diverse array of conifers covering the hillsides.
Author’s note: I am revisiting old posts from my 2016 road trip because I posted all of them from my cell phone and some of them are a bit of a mess. Main reason is to properly edit photos rather than just having what came out of my phone camera, and to include higher res photos from my mirrorless camera that never got published. Additionally some of the locations on the Geomap are wrong or often have multiple locations in a single post. OG text should be captured in a summary field when available.

No original text - this is a new post of old content that was jumbled together and now I'm splitting apart for specific unique locations.
