That's right...this picture is completely unedited, this mountain range is picture perfect! The mountain range is in the Medicine Bow National Forest, but the locals call it the Snowy Range.

Looking at this picture you can understand why it is called the Snowy Range - the quartzite rock appears almost white, especially when the sun rays hit its' surface. In the winter this scenic byway is closed because of (you can probably guess) snow.

Medicine Bow Peak towers over the once glacier-filled valley at 12,014 ft. On this fine day, we took our time getting to the peak and we will take you on a guided tour along the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (Hwy 130).

If you are planning a trip, the byway is only open from around May - October depending on the weather that year. In the winter months there is plenty to do as well!
