Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies rugged terrain shaped by ancient erosion, where small streams cut through bedrock and feed scattered meadows. At over 8,000 feet, the surrounding landscape features dramatic rock formations, winding canyons, and exposed cliff faces that sometimes reveal fossilized remains. Elk browse in early morning, deer move through at dusk, and eagles work the thermals above the ridgelines. The geology creates distinct microclimates. Cooler pockets near water, sun-baked south-facing slopes. That support different plant communities within a short walk of camp.

Directions

The South Bighorn/Red Wall Back Country Byway begins 13 miles northwest of Casper at the junction of U.S. Highway 20/26 and Natrona Country Road 125. The byway follows the 33-mile Stock Driveway to Buffalo Creek and the Red Wall. After retracing the steps of early settlers who moved cattle and sheep to high mountain pastures, the byway follows the spine of the southern end of the Big Horn Mountains via County Road 109 before joing County Road 105 along the scenic Red Wall about 22 miles north of U.S. Highway 20/26 at Waltman, Wyo.
