I've added this to my "Must Do" list, it's so beautiful! I hope to find a great weekend to head up there, it's less than a 3 hour drive from where I live. Thank you for sharing :)
3 hours is not too bad! Totally worth the drive. It does get really snowy in the winters though and they do close the road so keep that in mind if you go later in the year. It would be a huge bummer to drive out there for nothing.
I have been there many times and never been on any of these trails I have an uncle in Cheyanne and we have fished all over these mountains. I love this place. I caught a 21 inch Brook trout in the lake across from the overlook and climbed to the top of that mountain no easy task. You have to be there to see what the view from there looks like. It was so steep in places I was crawling up.
This is one of the most beautiful places in the USA and almost nobody knows about except the locals. Every time I've been there it was cold. I always had to wear a jacket at least. It's nice to see it can be warmer. LOL I know it's 10,800 feet but I hit the top of Mt. Evans (14,200) in Colorado before and it was 68 degrees. I've never even sniffed that here and i'm a Texan who has no business driving in ice or snow so I was always there in summer. Thanks for the vid.
Great video man, I could feel the genuine excitement and it made me want to get back out and do some more hiking. Influencers doing it for the "hike likes" need to take note.
Better to just give them your contact info … if someone contacts the office you can do your good deed and ship it to original owner. If no one contacts them, then you have a selfie-stick and not a ranger (office.)

Just went paddle boarding on Mirror lake yesterday!:) Beautiful!
We went there today . It was so beautiful!
Could you see any fire damage in that area or to the south?
@@nicksangetta8874 yes but not as bad as we expected.
Glad you made this video I'm heading out there from Indianapolis on Memorial Day weekend by car and it looks beautiful.
Its really beautiful. Just make sure the road is open because it is closed during the winter.
Discovered this area in July, absolutely beautiful. We will be back
Thanks
I just found and hiked that trail 3 weeks ago.
Absolutely beautiful!
This place could easily become Snowy Range National Park.
You should drive down to Saratoga and hit the hot springs after ya hike up there!

I appreciate the heads up, I'll research and plan accordingly--I'd hate to drive 6 hours round trip for nothing too haha. Ty!
Gorgeous landscape
I wonder what month you were there? I'm planning a trip in mid September... Thoughts?
I think this was in Aug. Sept will be good as well! As long as the snow has melted.

Trout lily and a cute squirrel, of course beautiful mountain views!! Love it!
Just left from there , so beautiful there . Did some fishing and caught 10 trout in one hour . Awesome place
So beautiful. I'd love to hike there some time in the summer :)
I was looking on maps and can’t find where you start this. How would I find that parking spot and trail :) thanks!!
We started from the Lake Marie Trailhead and parking area. But the road leading to Snowy Range is closed in the winter.
@@nicksangetta8874 planning on first week of June. Just researching and it might not open by then. Would it still be pretty snowy by then ?
@@amandamyers3339 Its possible. June is always iffy. Depends on how much snow they get.
Beautiful! We might have to start exploring Wyoming! At least there will be parking there! lol
Wyoming is great. They also have Yellowstone and Devils Tower too. Parking is probably not as good at those spots though.
Snowy range is such an amazing place! I was in shock at how many lakes I could see from the top of medicine bow peak!
beautiful hike with the extra bonus selfie stick… ❤

I've always loved Wyoming.

i hope you turned that stick in to the rangers, someone may have realized later they lost it and went trying to find it.
