As noted, we were staying in Boulder, WY for two nights. Now there isn’t much in Boulder, population 32, but it is close to the Wind Ridge Gorge. And that is where you will find many hikes of about any length or difficulty you want. As a result, even though this trail is a long ways from town, the parking lot was almost full.

We chose the Sacred Rim Trail hike, not the most well known but popular with locals. It is about 2 miles each way. We went about 1.5 miles, the altitude (9,500ft) was getting to me. But we had a chance to see the Gorge from the trail, really a beautiful area.

On the way back down from the trail head there were several magnificent views of the valley below. Didn’t realize how many lakes there were in this area!
