A Scenic Drive through the Big Horn National Forest, Hwy 14/14a Medicine wheel passage, 7/31/24

A scenic 55 miles drive through the Big Horn National Forest via highways 14a and 14 from the Five Springs Campground turnoff to Dayton Wyoming.

Highway 14A, often called the “Steep and Scenic Route,” This road is a ribbon of adventure, with hairpin turns that offer glimpses of deep gorges and expansive plateaus far below. The landscape here is more rugged, almost otherworldly, with jagged rock formations and alpine meadows that seem untouched by time.

At the summit, the world feels impossibly vast and incredibly close all at once. The wind carries the song of the mountains, a melody of rustling leaves, distant waterfalls, and the calls of unseen wildlife. The horizon stretches on forever, and you are filled with a sense of awe and reverence for the beauty that surrounds you.

Driving through Highways 14 and 14A in the Big Horn National Forest is like traversing a realm of natural magic, where every turn brings a new wonder and every view feels like a glimpse into the soul of the wilderness. It's a journey that leaves you breathless, not just from the altitude, but from the sheer beauty of it all.
