Hunter Mesa Dispersed — Bighorn NF (FSR 19)

Hunter Mesa rises above a sweep of open Wyoming rangeland in the Bighorn National Forest, offering wide panoramic views of surrounding valleys and snow-capped peaks visible in the distance — with elk, coyotes, and cattle audible after dark. The summit plateau is reached via FSR 19 (Hunter Creek Road), with a rough final quarter-mile that favors high clearance; the top opens into several acres of flat ground. This is working range country — expect livestock, a pass-through gate, and minimal solitude on busy summer days.
