Our first job was to find some hiking trails and some Jeeping roads so we drove into Buffalo to the ranger station and got some maps and advice. Since I had packed a picnic lunch we headed for the recommended hiking trail. It took us into the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area up about 900 feet to Sherd Lake. It was a lovely hike. We logged about 5 miles, met some nice folks, saw one buck, mistook a duck for a beaver and enjoyed the cooler temperatures.
We like this area enough to stay through the weekend but we will need to find a site that's not reserved. The ranger thought we might like another campground that was more secluded and less busy but after a 15 mile drive, we opted to stay where we are. Luck is with us as a walk-in site is empty when we get back so we quickly moved the RV and resettled.
