Summer Solstice at the Medicine Wheel

We spent a cold and cloudy morning hiking up to, and around, the Medicine Wheel archeological site high in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming.

The Medicine Wheel was constructed perhaps 250 years ago but this area has been a crossroads of various native peoples through the millennia.
The site remains a sacred place to the native tribes to this day and is a place of rituals as it might have been in years past.
Today we hiked up through the high altitude landscape to usher in the Summer solstice and take in the rugged and spiritual beauty of this place.

If the Medicine Wheel is too far to visit for you enjoy a walk around the site from this solstice.
