Absaroka Range

Moments later we were galloping at full speed beneath the rugged backdrop of the towering Absaroka Range.

Each floor has a porch and deck, with a crow’s nest spire on the top, offering unobstructed 360-degree views of the Absaroka range, Shoshone National Forest and Cody.

After five minutes of climbing the new trail, the Red Mountains and Absaroka Range in Yellowstone National Park are visible through a break in the trees.

The barren, serrated expanse of the Absaroka Range is spread out in front of us.

Grizzlies descend from the Absaroka Range into Wapiti and other areas near Cody in search of habitat and food.
