Early snow storm October in Medicine Bow National Forest along scenic highway 130 in southeastern Wyoming. The 29 mile Snowy Range Road, or Highway 130, is also known as the 'Great Skyroad'. It climbs sharply through lodgepole and spruce forests to Snowy Range Pass. This pass sits at 10,847-feet, is the second highest in the state, and offers views of the Colorado mountains and alpine vegetation zones. In the winter, this pass is closed, but continues to be popular with snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, and snowshoeing.
