Wyoming Hiked: Historic Quarry Trail at Fossil Butte National Monument

Located in the absolute middle of nowhere between Kemmerer and Cokeville in southwestern Wyoming, Fossil Butte National Monument seems to be one of those places people poke around at on a journey to somewhere else, namely Wyoming's two famous national parks, Grand Teton and Yellowstone.

Casper is Wyoming's second largest city, and sits on the northern side of Casper Mountain, a large mountain that stretches west-to-east. Casper Mountain… Continue reading Wyoming Hiked: Bridle Trail
