Today four of us went to the Bighorn National Forest to see the high peaks and Crazy Woman Canyon (more on that story later...). The road swung up and up into the mountains, ears popping from the altitude (Jentel is over 4,000 feet and we went up from there) to a view of snow-capped mountain-tops and past rock cliffs that are 3 billion years old. Then down through the canyon on winding one-lane road through beautiful forests, rock formations and fall foliage, with a stop in Buffalo at the Occidental Hotel. It was built in 1880, and has had many famous guests, including Buffalo Bill Cody, Calamity Jane, Butch Cassidy, and the Sundance Kid. Beautifully restored, it has most of the original fixtures and furniture.
