We had perfect weather for riding. We rode Thursday evening, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was an awsome trip. Thanks to all of my friends and family that joined in the fun.

I am sure these are nice pictures, I wish I could see them. All I see is a red x. When I click on the link the error message: "Suitable graphics inporter could not be found"

I redid these. They should come up now.

Nice pictures! Beautiful country. That looks like the mountains around here. High country, thats for sure, usually not too many mosquitos and bugs until later. Looks fun. Good job.

I showed your pictures to my wife and she was really impressed. Next year, if you have as much advance planning notice as this trip, we will probaly join you for the trip. My wife has to have a minimum of 6 weeks notice to arrange her work schedule. She a nurse so there is no problem getting the time off with advance notice. We have mountains like that here but most of the trails are primitive and most of the trips are a lot of work. I hope this is an annual event that you have!

That would be great if you could make the trip. I like to try and make the trip to Wyoming at least twice per year. Depending upon what happens at work, I will be going again August6-10.

I plan on going again next July. Usually the weekend after the 4th of July is what we plan.

The Big Horn Mountains have over 1500 miles of trails.

They are starting to really crack down on machines over 50" wide up there. We were stopped by a ranger and he actually measured us to check width. Of course our RZR's were running stock wheels so there was no issues. For anyone running Rangers, you will be limited to the main roads.

That is cool, when we go next year, I will just put the stock tires back on the RZR. Do you have to get a special Wyoming sticker to ride there or will they honor the non-residents stickers?

2005DMAX · 07-16-2009, 10:15 PM

You need to get a sticker. Cost is $15 and is good for the year.

Here is a short video of my daughter and her brother driving through a water crossing. Let me know if this does not work.

Good video, It looks like they had fun.
Is that considered a trail or a road by the USFS? In the back country here, that would be considered an old road.
