Went back-country skiing in Routt NF. Beautiful! So peaceful and generally quiet (except for the occasional distant snowmobile tour). snow was heavenly!

Rabbit ears pass offers some of the best high elevation cross country skiing anywhere! Easy access to elevations around 10,000 feet year 'round. Many areas offer panoramic vistas of the Colorado mountains. A nice place to visit at any time of year.

This is a great rek and the views are as good as you can get anywhere, added to which you do not have to share it with hundreds of others at the same time. You can really experience Wyoming without the crowds - good for the body and soul.

We live in North Central Colorado so Medicine Bow is a close trip for us. Hiking here, especially in the fall is beautiful and peaceful. If you are looking for an outdoor experience with few amenities, this is for you!

I took my 7yr son to Routt for 2 hours of snowmobiling. I was amazed at the natural beauty of the area. It also sits on the Continental Divide which is kinda cool to think about while you're there. Standing on the Continental Divide! Very cool!

Stopped at the Ski Haus and picked up a trail map. They were helpful and we had a nice day cross country skiing.
