HOW Day 15
Lander, WY to Rawlins, WY
Today our trail started in Atlantic City, WY. As we had spent the night in Lander, WY we had to ride back 30 miles and decided to do it through the Red Canyon Road. It turned out to be one of the highlights for the day. We even saw mule deer and coyotes.
When we arrived in Atlantic City we decided to check out the saloon and the owners were so very nice and opened it up for us and let us enjoy seeing an historic place from the 19th century that had been fully decorated for Halloween.
We then spent most of the day on the “Big Empty”! The Big Empty is a 6 million acre region of southwestern Wyoming. It is the largest unfenced area left in the Lower 48, and one of the harshest, most remote and extreme environments left to explore in the United States. Size wise, it is as large as Denali National Park and one quarter of the size of Portugal. The landscape and wildlife are much different and there are grave markers from the many who died trying to get out west. You can hike through the largest active sand dune system in the U.S. You can find fossils or explore hoodoo canyons where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid out! OR, you can ride across it on your Adventure Motorcycle, like we did!
We saw many herds of antelope on our 183 mile ride.
