Largest Natural Crevice Garden ?

[David Sellars]

Susan:

The best flora I have found for the Bighorn Mountains is "Flowers of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains and Big Horn Basin" by Earl Jensen, published by Chimney Rock Books of Greybull, Wyoming in 1987.  I suspect it is out of print, though you might be lucky and find a copy.

The flowers at Medicine Wheel are similar to Hunt Mountain to the south where natural crevice gardens can also be found.  A description of a good hike at Hunt Mountain, including photos of some of the spring flowers can be found at:

Thanks for that David, I will have a hunt around for the book. I think I might even have the NARGS journal that it mentions. I never thought of the journals, prehaps Mike and Polly Stone have written a bit in the SRGC journals.
I think we might have a day or 2 in the southern Bighorns.Susan
