Review: Medicine Wheel Farms

The scenic drive into the Pryor Mountains from Lovell alone is worth it. There is a ~2 mile gravel forest service road to the parking area and then a ~1.5 mile hike on a closed (to vehicles) section of the same road to the medicine wheel site. The hike starts and ends about about 9700 feet elevation, but there are some dips and rises along the way. Generally the hike is pretty moderate difficulty. The Bighorn Medicine Wheel is interesting and apparently used for various Native American ceremonies, but for me the highlight was the stunning location and views both along the hike and at the medicine wheel site. There are well maintained pit toilets at both the parking area and adjacent to the medicine wheel.
