- 26 min drive1
7:56 AM · Fuel up
Bison Union Coffee Co.
Sheridan · Coffee & Bakery
Bright, modern, laptop-friendly. Best spot downtown to answer a couple emails without feeling like you're working.
- 32 min drive2
8:58 AM · The big one
Tongue River Canyon Trail
Dayton · Hiking & Biking
The essential first hike — a dramatic canyon 20 minutes from downtown, walls rising on both sides, the river roaring beside you. Moderate, ~7 miles out-and-back but rewarding from the first mile. Go in the morning.
- 15 min drive3
12:43 PM · Refuel lunch
Wyoming Buckshot Saloon & Eatery
Ranchester · Food
Hand-pressed burgers from locally sourced beef — the mashburger is the move. A genuine Ranchester gem worth the short drive north, and a natural pair with Connor Battlefield.
- 19 min drive4
1:57 PM · Round two (gentler)
Fallen City Overlook
Bighorns · Scenic Drives & Falls
A tumble of massive limestone blocks that looks like a ruined city. Two-minute stop, great photo, kids love scrambling the pull-off.
- 20 min drive5
3:57 PM · The earned pour
Tongue River Brewing Company
Ranchester · Bars & Breweries
Ranchester's own craft brewery, with a taproom for flights and pints and a patio where dogs are welcome. A fine stop on the way to or from the mountain.
- 22 min drive6
5:30 PM · Dinner
Warehouse Gastropub
Sheridan · Food
Solid burgers and a relaxed room off Main. Easy call when you can't agree on anything fancier.
~134 minutes of total driving. Times are relaxed guides, not reservations.
Basecamp matters — our Story and Dayton cabins put the trailheads 15 minutes closer.
