Driving around the Bighorn mountains.

We drove west on hwy 16 through part of the Bighorn mountains.  We found several very nice places to view the mountains.

The tallest mountain is ​Cloud Peak at an elevation of 13,171 feet.  There are several mountains that are at or over 12,000 feet and all have snow on them.  Yes, even at the end of July snow is easy to see at or near the peaks.  For a Native Floridian, this always a bit of a surprise each time I look to those peaks.

The highest point on the drive was Powder River Pass at 9,666 elevation.  The area is considered an alpine tundra.

These are common here.  They are 10 feet tall and made to stop or at least slow snow drifts from crossing the roads.  Wow!  Guess this is not a place to be in the winter unless you don't mind being cold.
