The most popular trail in the entire Snowy Range system is Highway 130, a scenic byway that cuts through the heart of the Snowies and is closed to vehicles in the winter due to deep snow. The trail also serves as the main artery to access dozens groomed and ungroomed paths which shoot off in every direction.
The Snowy Range is part of the Medicine Bow Range and its centerpiece is the grand Medicine Bow Peak (12,013 feet), which can be seen from just about anywhere in the mountain range, or southeast Wyoming, for that matter. The Widow Maker is on the northeast side of Medicine Bow Peak.
The Snowies can be accessed from both sides of the range, via Highway 130 from the west and also from the east. The east side of the Snowies can also be reached by Highway 127/230.
