After what I would have to call a disappointing start to the season, I headed east to the Bighorns via a very scenic but convoluted route up over Beartooth Pass, the Red Grade Road and eventually up thru Tensleep Canyon to the trailhead. The idea was that the popular and easily accessible summit of Cloud Peak would get me back on track. It was easy and perhaps I should have done some additional exploring while in the Misty Moon Lake region, but I didn't so a quick trip up Cloud Peak only took 3 days before I headed back to the Winds and my rendezvous with Chuck, my brother-in-law from Mazama.
