This is a scenic view of Big Horn National Forest in Wyoming.
Unfortunately we did not see any big horn sheep.
On our way to Deadwood, SD we stopped at Buffalo Bills Historical Center. This museum in Cody, WY houses a huge exhibit of Firearms, the life of Buffalo Bill, Native American artwork as well as the Wyoming Outdoor Hall of Fame.
The bear pictured here was a bear that was put down by rangers because it was used to eating food left over by people within the park. Many tourists in the national parks do not follow many of the bear safety guidelines and as a result many bears are put down when they become a potential threat to people.
One of the Indian Headdresses at the Museum, I believe this one symbolized protection and strength!

The red piece of fabric tied to the tree is Indian Prayer Bundle, Devils Tower is Sacred Land for many of the regional tribes. In June many Native American comes out to Devils Tower for religious ceremonies. You will see hundreds of these prayer bundles along the trails.
This little Ground Squirrel was super cute nibbling on his pine cone!
He his hard to see but that is a chipmunk in the middle of picture, we also saw a Golden Eagle flying over head but I was not able to get a good picture!
This a prairie dog hole, unfortunately the prairie dogs are not out this late at night so we were only able to see a few and thus no pictures.
Sunset of Devils Tower
Devils Tower at Sunset, my camera was not able to catch the brilliant purple and blue hues behind the tower. The top picture is the closest to the actual colors but of course it was better in real life!
