Stephanie Winters' Adventure Story: Cloud Peak in the Wyoming Mountains
By this time Michelle is crying, but she’s like, “I’m fine. I’m fine.” But she has tears coming down behind her sunglasses...We made it, but it was one of the most strenuous things I’ve ever done. There were 3 people at different points on the 3rd day [who said] “Oh, good to see you guys made it off the mountain.” And then when we get to the car, a separate group of people [said], “Oh glad to see you guys made it down. We were worried about you.” And then, we go to town in Buffalo and eat at a Mexican restaurant and this family who’s leaving the restaurant said, “Oh! We’re so happy you guys made it off the mountain!” ~ Stephanie Winters hiker and backpacker on Cloud Peak (Wyoming Mountains)
Recreate Stephanie's Adventure: Cloud Peak (13,167 Feet) Summit
We got curious about the details of Stephanie's backpacking trip in the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area to the summit of Cloud Peak in the Big Horn Mountains near Gillette, Wyoming. So we did some research. Turns out, Cloud Peak is the highest mountain in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountain Range, and we learned a lot more about it too! We've compiled a couple resources from our research.

What I remember the most about that was, as a little kid, I had this entire world to myself. My dad was off finding fishing holes for my brother. I just got to be there and control this entire world. ~ E.T. young fisher
