Wheeling Forest Service Road 103 is what some would call a "tour of the lakes". This off-road trail one of the best to view high mountain lakes. You pass by South and North Twin Lakes, Dipper and Queally Lake, along with Cascade Lake. Feeding all these lakes are crystal clear streams and brooks which you can't help but appreciate as you listen and look at them. All of this water leads to a visually pleasing trip through many colorful and delicate sub-alpine meadows. This route lies within the Snowy Range of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, it is pristine and less crowded than some of the most well-known areas that tend to get most of the attention. This is the perfect destination for an overland adventure.

Traversing the high mountain tundra and forest in southern Wyoming's Snowy Range, Libby Flats is an intermediate 4x4 trail that meanders through the Medicine Bow National Forest. This multi-use trail is only open and accessible for a few months each year because of the exceptional volume of snowfall during the winter and spring. Luckily, the golden fall color from abundant aspen trees makes up for the short season.
Libby Flats is a trail to take for the beauty of the high mountain views. Although this area receives considerable snow during the winter, that is not how the Snowy Range Mountains received their name. The color of the rocky peaks gives the appearance of being covered with snow even when no snow is present.
