Interstate Adventures
Take the RV and hit the open road in Wyoming knowing you can stop for the night and need not worry about a place to sleep.

At 12,013 feet, Medicine Bow Peak is far from being Wyoming's highest mountain, but this broad, beefy massif is unquestionably the monarch of southern Wyoming. Just reaching this compelling mountain on the northern end of the Medicine Bow Range makes for a wonderful drive. Climbing it turns the excursion into an adventure. The Snowy Range Scenic Byway (Wyoming Hwy. 130) slices east-west through the mountains. read more
