I live in Laramie and I love watching your 14er guides. This peak has some of the best June snowboarding/skiing you can imagine. Until mid-late June you can skin across some pretty easy terrain which can cut the route down significantly. It's less than a mile from the highway to the base of medicine bow between sugar loaf. Then you can skin/boot-pack up or do one of the many steep couloirs. Such a great location for summer activities.
Discovered the Snowy Range on a motorcycle trip in the 1970s, blew me away... Be sure to check out the often 'overlooked' Bighorn National Forest/Cloud Peak Wilderness Area... Great footage, thanks for posting.
I recall driving through the Snowy Range as a child on a family vacation trip. I remember it as the most beautiful area we ever visited. Even from a car the mountains are so near and the views are breathtaking.
I have a job that lets me drive the Snowy Range Road every Tuesday so I see Medicine Bow Peak every week and I've always wondered what the view from the top was like. There is a trail that goes in and around all those lakes and I've wanted to do that one for years. Very cool to see a bird's eye view to that area.
Just left Snowy Range last week, so beautiful. We babysat our grandkids so Mom and Dad could hike Medicine Bow Peak, they had a great time. We live in Iowa and this was our second trip to the area, a hidden gem.
Spent two days there last November. Very nice place, but the National Forest Campgrounds (Brooklyn Lake, Island Lake, etc.) had very small sites with no privacy. At each campground, I asked myself if I would want to spend a week there. The answer was always no.
If you really want to blow your hair back, just go a little bit further north to the wind River range. We did Fremont Peak back about 4 years ago. It's legit.
Used to be a hidden gem. Now its overcrowded with Coloradans coming north who can't find a place to hike in the 14.5 million acres of National Forest that Colorado has to offer.
Nature is so amazing and beautiful... this was just perfect, perfect weather, amazing scenery! Always glad to see you back in the mountains.
We are all very lucky to have the option to see nature in all its glory.

I was eyeing the snow lines when we were there, I can't imagine how awesome it would be to lap them.
I did this hike today thanks to your video! Amazingly beautiful and a great hike! One hiker I passed was doing in barefoot!

100% - even if you aren’t able to hike, the drive alone through this area is worth it
Laramie, WY native here! :) I love my mountains.
Proud of you too! 🎉
Awesome drone and return route shots!
Thanks man, really appreciate it!
I love the Aria info nuggets. And Im proud of you too man .

Beautiful area going to have to keep it in mind.
Wow we hiked this last Saturday! Absolutely beautiful. The peaks in CO were showing bad weather so we shot up to Wyo
Haha. I'm like that with the color grey. Good job out there. We are planning on moving that way once our son graduates next year.
Nice man, that was a beautiful hike. Wyoming is an incredible State.

I climbed this peak with my son on 13 Aug 97 coming up from Colorado … beautiful area👍
One of my favorite areas. The alpine setting is stunning.
I have been thinking about this mountain for a ham radio hiking trip. Thank you!
❤ Way to go Mick! Much love man!
Beautiful. Ill be hiking this on Sunday!

Peak, they had a great time. We live in Iowa and this was our second trip to the area, a hidden gem.
Such a cool area!
Beautiful area! I'll have to check it out since I just moved nearby. Happy to see you're still climbing.
it's great to hear you're in a better mental space! keep on truckin
Im proud of you too dude! Thanks for the vid
I love Wyoming you should hike up square top mountain in Cora wy it’s long af though
Born in a barn in Laramie is a good place for a cheese burger too
aria deserves the snow nibbles for being such a good pup if you are asking me...
She gets all the bellies and nibbles she wants. Once those blue eyes look at me, its over
Hoping to get up to Med Bow without all this smoke that’s currently in the area. Appreciate the beta as always

Oh dang. I'm from Laramie. Med bow is great. I wouldnt call it a hidden gem though as it's pretty well known.
Beautiful area! I'd love to drive up (from Colorado) and trail run more of the Medicine Bow area.
@@Rande-b8x Of course! Stick to the designated trails.

Nah you are right, public lands are actually owned by the state they exist in.
Dude let your dog go! Imagine that you had an owner and they kept you on a chain all day, cruel.
