Medicine Bow National Forest: Sunset Ridge Trail

After our visit to Fort Fetterman and lunch at Jackalope Square, we made the drive out of town and up into the mountains where we established camp at Esterbrook Campground. 


After getting set up and lounging around camp for a while, we opted to go for a short hike on the Sunset Ridge Trail that is easily accessible from the campground. We found one of the two spur trails that leads to the main loop,


and followed a trail through beautiful scenery 



that promptly led to a dead end. Confused, we retraced our steps and soon found the main trail, a rocky multi-use trail.


We followed the trail through a wooded area and soon came out into an amazing open view of Laramie Peak and the other craggy peaks of the Laramie Range.


We admired the view for a bit,


and then continued on our way, 


completing the loop and heading back to the campground.
