Hiking Wyoming's Medicine Bow National Forest is now into its Third Edition! This edition has 224 pages, new trails for Pole Mountain, and even more photographs.... for the same price!

The guidebook includes:

• Descriptions for nearly 400 miles of trails across Pole Mountain, the Snowy Range, the Medicine Bow Mountains, the Sierra Madre, and the Laramie Mountains.
  
  
• A four-page color insert, elevation profiles, 80 black and white photos, and a map for each hike.

• Big snows have come to southern Wyoming this spring!
• In addition to the pine beetle epidemic of the last decade, the high country now shows the widespread effect of the spruce beetle. Be aware of dead trees, especially in high winds. While crews have maintained many trails, you may encounter deadfall on some routes -- this is mostly an issue for stock animals.
• The Forest Service visitor center on the east side of the Medicine Bow Range on HWY 130 is closed for reconstruction. As an alternative, you can stop by the Forest Service offices in Laramie, Saratoga, or the visitor center on the west side of the range (also on HWY 130).
