Shirley Mountains and Basin
The Shirley Mountains and Basin
are full unblemished nature and wildlife, and display
striking scenery throughout the seasons. Highway 487 to Casper takes
you right through the basin, and the old highway 77 loop makes
a nice diversion, with a convenient rest stop at one end. Hunters
just love this area for Antelope and Elk. You'll also spot a
host of smaller wildlife and birds along the highway.
This area has some spectacular views, with unexpected
sights that provide good photo landscapes. Some of the mountains
through here look like meringue in the winter time due to the
way the snow and dirt blow. There are also rock towers that
look just like castle battlements in many places along the road.
Be sure to check the roads before venturing out in the winter,
as the roads through Shirley Basin are often restricted to "necessary
travel only".
