Winter Camping In Wyoming, It’s Not For Everyone

Winter is here in Wyoming, so camping is over, right?

HECK NO!

Folks love to get out into the cold mountains of Wyoming for several reasons. It's beautiful, and there is nobody else out there. If you were looking for a campsite all to yourself, this is the perfect time.

There are several ways to do this. The gentleman in the video below decided to bring a camper.

We are camping in the harshest Wyoming environment in the dead of winter. Making a survival fire and cooking the best food right over the coals. Winter camping is really hard in these desolate lands with scarce resources.

 

But that is what you do if you want to bring all the comforts of home with you. The gentleman in the video above is hardly roughing it, as he claims. He towed a house to his campsite.

How about we climb up into the Bighorn Mountains and find a spot with nothing more than a tent and whatever else we need to keep warm? The gentleman in the video below lives for cold and snowy nights like these. Negative temperatures excite him.

A one night winter camping trip in the Bighorn Mountains during a cold snap in Wyoming, The temperatures hovered around 20 below zero for the majority of the trip.

 

On trips like this, the goal is NOT to hang around the campsite. This is about exploring the great outdoors during its more brutal time, winter.

It's also a great time to find animal tracks and watch for them. The woods are active despite the temperatures.

You'll love those stars at night.

CAUTION: Be sure to check the weather before you go. Don't want to get caught in a blizzard.
