From what I read, Rte 16 From Ten Sleep east over the Big Horns to Buffalo is supposed to be good motorcycling. Pretty curvy in some parts, but it seemed more of a cruiser ride to me. Meh. I camped the night before my ride at Leigh Creek Campground. It's a paid campsite beneath a huge rock wall. After my ride I went to Ten Sleep Brewery for a refreshing IPA. Rode back to my van and found a free place to camp up the hill on a gravel road east of the paid campsite. Beautiful views and numerous other van campers up there.
While there I hiked the Salt Lick trail. It's a loop hike up the mountain on the north side of Rte 16 a few miles east of Ten Sleep. Great views. Steep ascent/descent. I rode my Svart from my van to the trailhead with no helmet. It's legal in WY and I normally would never do this. But I didn't want to leave my helmet on my bike while hiking. Refreshing though.
