Nothing beats fall weather for hiking in the park. With afternoon temperatures in the low to mid-60s, this has been a fantastic week to be in the park. Several trailheads leave from the north end of Upper Spotted Tail Camp Ground and this week we tried all of them.

Some wind through heavy timber, others through burned areas from the 2012 fire. The hike up Knight Mountain is one of the best in the park and following the old road to Onyx Cave is always entertaining and educational.

There are branches off these trails, mostly lost from time and lack of use over the years but fun to follow, if only for a short way, when found.

I hear many people are lamenting the end of summer and some are looking forward to winter and Wyoming's great offering of winter sports. As for my wife and me, we will take fall and this year's terrific weather.
