Highway 16 Dispersed Site

Pleasant Surprise to say the least

We came here because frankly I was up way too late driving trying to make it from Yellowstone to Bandlands after spending way too long being weird with my sons launching rocks into a river in Wyoming with sling shots then got into a snap pop fight with the same sling shots. My questionable, if funny, parenting skills aside, we arrived at this site around 2 am. At night all you can see is a large meadow with flowers. There’s a sign that says parking area marking the spot. It’s a small sign. Keep your eyes open. Oh, and there were millions of stars. The view is the reason to come. There are two nice fire rings that I didn’t see until morning.

In the morning I saw that we were parked on the edge of the top of a mesa and the view was equally as amazing as the night time view of stars. Green grass, rock and flower covered hills and mesas and mountains going on forever. I’d definitely come back. There’s no bathroom. So bring your own facilities or shovel.
