Day 6: A Summer Surprise

We left Mt. Rushmore and headed into Wyoming bright and early. Soon after passing into Wyoming, our route took us into the Big Horn National Forest. As we began an ascent up the mountain range of Big Horn, we where barraged with…Snowflakes! It was snowing in June! We climbed trough hairpin turns and sheer drop-offs playing "duck, duck, goose" with the salt truck most of the way to the summit. My family was delighted and even bailed from the car a few times to dance in the snow and check out the views…

After the summit, we began our descent and ended up hiking, checking out waterfalls, and anything else that caught our eye as we made our way to our night's destination of Cody, WY. After descending the mountain, the terrain turned more desert-like and we entered Cody rather late in the day. We ended the day eating at a Roadhouse, named Cassie's General Store that was famed to be a former "House of Ill Repute" (or a whorehouse for short). We retired that night to a wood paneled hotel room that had a horse farm in the back and rested up for the next couple of days.
