Sheridan Outdoor Journeys
Did we mention the Big Horn Mountains? With peaks from 5 to 13 thousand feet, they offer challenges for the most trail-hardened mountain biker. Seasoned riders should without a doubt try the Tongue River Shuttle, a crazy eleven-mile downhill race alognside the brook.
Fishermen will find their thrill in mountain streams boasting brook and rainbow trout in amazing cold, clear waters. A few resevoirs and streams dot the mountains, including beautiful Big Horn Reservoir and Clear Creek, also prized by canoers.
If northeastern Wyoming doesn't make you think of golfing, you may want to think again. Early settlers from Scotland brought their love of the game along, and the area around Sheridan boasts four gorgeous courses to master.

Those preferring to walk sans a golf bag can follow tree-lined course for miles through Big Horn State Forest. For notable multi-day walks, plan some time for the Edelman or Paint Rock Trails. You will find stunning mountain camping areas along most tracks, so be sure to pack your bed roll and prepare to slumber out beneath the Milky Way.
