Exploring the Northern Bighorn Mountains Part 1

Felt the itch this weekend to get out and do some exploring in the Northern Bighorn Mountains and attempt to do some fishing.

Fishing attempt and Sibley Lake and some random pond, in which I caught I caught jack squat and learned my reel is screwed up.

Trails: FS 167, Freeze Out Point, Riley/Dry Fork Ridge, Skull Ridge and an attempt to find the remains of Bald Mountain City.

The route up Skull Ridge and the surrounding area.

 

 

End of the route - there's an old ATV trail past the sign. 

Heading back down the trail.

Wasted sometime trying to catch a few small fish in this pond.

Tried to find the remains of Bald Mountain City but only came across a few scattered structures like this.
