Wyoming

Images from the Cowboy State.

Morning summer sunrise along the Medicine Bow Trail in the Snowy Range Mountains outside of Laramie, Wyoming. The popular trail traverses the long, high-elevation ridge of Medicine Bow Peak and tops off at 12,013 ft. Sunrises are a hiker’s dream here. With being the highest point in southeastern Wyoming in Carbon and Albany counties, the peak gets illuminated by the first sun rays of the morning. And when starting at the Lake Marie trailhead, travelers get sprawling views of the numerous alpine lakes dotting the landscape.

Adobe Town Canyon
Late spring evening in the Adobe Town area of the Red Desert. Hailed as one of the largest unfenced areas in the Lower 48 of the United States, the expansive desert landscape extends across southern Wyoming. As part of the Great Divide Basin, the area receives very little rainfall throughout the year and has no surface runoff streams or rivers. Minerals are abundant here, as the land is rich in oil, natural gas, uranium and coal. Photo by Kyle Spradley | © Kyle Spradley Photography | www.kspradleyphoto.com
