Anyone familiar with backpacking in Wyoming in March? I want to try to photograph the east side of the Winds or the Bighorns, but know little of what to expect (I mean, sure, lots of snow). Obviously should be relatively easier paths given winter. Any suggestions/experiences?

I did some day hiking in the Cloud Peak wilderness area of the Bighorns, but that's more central than eastern and I was there in the summer so pfffttt I'm an unhelpful jackass. The Lost Twin Lakes hike had some beautiful glacial features and was only ~12mi roundtrip, but since the trail could be hard to find in July I bet it is completely obscured in March. We also drove up to the "Bud Love Wildlife Habitat Management Area" which isn't far from Buffalo, WY right on the eastern edge of the NF. Didn't do any hiking there, but even from the road the landscape was pretty great/bizarre with these little grassy buttes and the mountains in the distance. I'm guessing it probably isn't as cool looking when everything is covered in snow.

Also if you are going through Buffalo at breakfast time, make sure to eat at Pistol Pete's.

I use this. Smaller hole to fill but I've never had a problem with leaks.

Ditto. I have this Platypus and it has been through some rough poo poo, but it still works perfectly.
