September 2nd, 2007: Snowy Range

We decided to head west into the Snowy Range on this Sunday afternoon following church.

This is Medicine Bow Peak (a little over 12k ft) in the Snowy Range of the Medicine Bow Mountains. We had our first good batch of cold air heading south a few days after this, so I wanted to get a better feel for how these mountains looked west of Laramie.

At the summit, we stopped at this little observation area to enjoy the view.

Here is Barrett up on the observation tower.

Just another shot looking up above tree-line.
