There was a good weather forecast for today. That, along with a chance to see some fall color before the leaves are gone convinced me to head into Wyoming to check out Duncan Ranch. It was a pretty long drive through Guernsey and Douglas to Glenrock. At Glenrock I headed up into the foothills of the Laramie Range to the start of my hike.
As I set off on the trail, I noticed that there was still fall color in some of the clumps of aspen trees.
I could tell this was going to be a great hike as I found evidence that people lose their soles out here. This one was right out on the trail.
I headed into a wooded area and found a couple of grouse.
The trail continued on, making a loop and winding into areas of forest and meadow. The scenery was superb.
The trail made a loop of just over five miles.
While I had hoped to maybe see some elk out on the trail, I didn't really see any wildlife other than the grouse and some prairie dogs in a dog town near the trailhead.
Still, the beautiful scenery and fall colors made the long drive worth it.
I would return to the area to hike again with Noelle.
