Sweet sweet summer time in big Wyo! I grew up on a ranch in the valley below the peaks and spent many a day climbing and skiing them. Good memories of the Medicine Bow, even that sign at the beginning, looks exactly the same. Good stuff!

Oh boy! Grew up in Laramie and spent lots of time up in "The Range", and Vedauwoo. This is wonderful, but it makes me homesick!

Tell me about it we moved to the Ghetto Fort Collins Cheyenne because my fiance works at the Air Force Base & I'm homesick for Laramie & the Snowy Range 😭 I may have moved around a lot because I'm a military brat but Laramie will always be home. There is nothing like its pristine Beauty . That's why I chose to stay in the state. °~•.☆.•~°

Fun! My grandfather was born in Cheyenne and lived on the family's homestead ranch at the state line near Virginia Dale. I grew up just outside of Cheyenne in the late 50s and early 60s. I have fond memories of the area.

Tuggn' at the strings of my Military Brat's heart. Just the first 60 seconds is why I stayed. I never seen something so beautiful. Clean, sturdy, steady & serious. Raw beauty that demanded my respect & has it. °~•.☆.•~° Thank you

I've never seen 'f's written like that. Took me a while before I realized the artwork behind the text was a bucking bronco facing left. I love watching these old videos of the US.

Still have Frontier Days every year, bigger than ever. Its a little expensive though. Just moved here less than three years ago and love it.

Seeing the glaciers in the 1940s makes me sad. By the time I moved there in 1989, the last of the glaciers had receded halfway up the mountainside. Before I graduated, it had melted away entirely.

The 'Gap" between the Laramie and Big Horn mountain ranges is actually in the neighborhood of 120-150 miles and stretches from Casper and Kaycee/Buffalo, open plains and the Powder River beginnings. Don't know where the 'gap in this footage is , but I would suspect in the southern part of the Laramie range. Nice footage of some places I haven't been and some places I've put my feet down on.

Doesn't look that dissimilar from hiking up there last year on July 9th. About the same amount of snow. couldn't take the trail all the way to the peak cause of the snow , had to climb the rocks straight up to the ridge. Then walk on packed snow the rest of the way.

Winter snow, melts every summer in that area. You have to Glacer Park to see a glacier in the lower 48 US states.

I am on my balcony at about 9500 feet in Colorado. It is the third of August. I am looking right at a mountaintop glacier that is dying. It is a little patch of ice on the north face where ten years ago the entire peak was covered. There have been dozens of all-time heat records this year, and most of them replaced records from last year. You are being lied to. Stop buying it. It isn't supposed to be 90 degrees here.

The amount of snow looked very similar to hiking to medicine bow peak last year on July 9th 2023. I got the pictures of the very same areas from last year. Last year and this year, they didn't even open the Gap Lakes parking lot until late June/early July. Took that long for the snow to melt enough in order to get it plowed. I wouldn't worry, they aren't glaciers anyways. Just winter snow. You can still see big patches of snow in the high elevations of the Rockies in N. Colorado even right now, there will be snow left on the ground up there from last winter when it starts to snow again shortly. Very high amounts of snowfall for the 23/24 winter in the Rockies in N. Colorado and WY.

@@WYO_Dirtbag the snow and ice at 13000 feet isn't supposed to melt off. It isn't a seasonal feature. It's what forms alpine glaciers. And these mountains have never been this naked ever in recorded history. There are still extant glaciers in some places, but they are just tiny doomed patches of ice that haven't melted yet. The region where there are stable or growing glaciers is... Idk, Narnia? All the ice on the planet is melting. That's not a good thing.
