Sledding
While there are a million hills to sled down in the Bighorns, there are two, quite popular sledding areas just up the mountain from Buffalo. And one just happens to be at the Pole Creek cross country parking area.
Pole Creek: This hill offers great parking, easy access and even porta potties. Fun for the whole family, and just next to the cross country trails, it’s the perfect base camp for a family adventure on the hill.
Sourdough: Slightly closer than Pole Creek, Sourdough offers great hills, easy access and great parking. Unfortunatley, no porta potties are available, however this is still a popular sledding desitination for locals & visitors alike.
Snow Machining
Nothing says winter time in Wyoming like snowmachining in the Bighorns. Folks come from hundreds of miles to cruise our trails.
The Bighorns offer miles of marked, snow machine trails…and guess what? One of the more popular starting places is, you guessed it, Pole Creek parking area. Excellent parking, right next to marked trails, you can start here with an adventure for the whole family.
Meadowlark & Deer Haven Lodges are also snow machining hot spots that offer lodging, food some rentals. Visit www.lodgesofthebighorns.com for more info.
