Road Trip June 2026 - Wyoming - Part 2

In Sheridan, we stay at the historic Sheridan Inn and enjoy going to the Sam Mavrakis fishing pond. There are always birds and other interesting creatures to see. Whether or not I get any good photos is another question! 

On the way back to Five Springs, the Burgess Junction Visitor Center has a short hiking trail nearby with great spring flowers and, with luck, a few other creatures. 

We often see moose along this stretch of road, close enough to get a few acceptable photos.  

Back at Five Springs, the wind was still not cooperating but we held out hope and, in the meantime, drove further into Big Horn Canyon. On the Rangers Delight Trail, these sheep were pretty chill as we carefully approached for photos. 

This area is well known for wild horses and the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center is located in Lovell.  In all our trips here, we'd never seen them until now! These ones were fairly close to the road so we stopped and admired them. So beautiful! 

After finally giving up on the wind allowing Andrew to paraglide, we took one last short hike up Five Spring Canyon.

And got one last view of this colourful vista.
