Dual Sport riders' paradise
The Bighorn mountains offer many trails for enjoying on dual sport motorcycles. In the Buffalo area you have Crazy Woman Canyon along with several side roads spurring off Hwy 16. If you continue north to Sheridan then find Red Grade Rd (near the town of Bighorn) and take it into the mountains and explore until your heart is content. Be careful and take a friend because there is rarely cell service and some of the roads and trails get increasingly difficult the further you get from the pavement.
