Bighorn

Got up before dawn and drove into the Bighorn Mountains today. I wanted to see the Medicine Wheel, a prehistoric stone circle that sits high on a plateau but the heavy snow drifts blocked the way and made the trail impassable (photo above). So I had to settle for a snapshot of this sign.

The drive was not wasted: the late spring snow melt ensured that the alpine meadows were still filled with wildflowers, plus I saw four moose on the road.

Later in the day we drove on to Cody, a town founded by Buffalo Bill Cody. Tomorrow we drive into Yellowstone!
