Description

If you are ever in the northwestern part of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming and want a good, cardio ride above 9,200 feet, riding to the Medicine Wheel from Hwy Alt 14 might be just the thing. Just over six miles out and back, the ride is steep enough and long enough to give one a decent, early-morning workout. There are several, little-traveled roads in the area. Ride it early (at sunrise) to beat the sun and the crowds.
