Did you know that June 6th is National Trails Day? It’s true, and we’re celebrating! 🥾

We have three hikes across Northwestern Wyoming to get out on our beautiful trails:

☀️ Buffalo Bill State Park — Friday, June 5th, 10AM, Hayden Arch Bridge Trail, meet at the BOR Parking Area (~4 miles, paved road walking, some elevation change, easy-intermediate)

☀️ Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site — Saturday, June 6th, 10AM, Deer Path Trail, meet at Park HQ (~1.5 miles, natural terrain trail, some elevation change, easy-intermediate)

☀️ Boysen State Park — Saturday, June 6th, 6PM, Dam Overlook Trail, meet at the Boysen Dam Parking Area (~4 miles, lots of elevation gain, difficult!)

The best part? The American Hiking Society sent us National Trails Day SWAG! Earn a free sticker or button for attending (while supplies last).

A couple days ago, we had warm temps, blooms and pollinators.

Today, we have snow.

Wyoming spring can be fickle, but this is making us sickle!
