everything from colorful eroded desert badlands to wooded buttes and escarpments. In between
are extensive rolling to rough uplands interspersed with some desert playa and vegetated dune
areas. Elevation ranges from 6600 ft to 7800 ft along Kinney Rim, which forms the western
boundary of the HMA. Some of the HMA is in the Adobe Town Wilderness Study Area.

Battle Highway Scenic Byway & The Edison Monument
The Battle Highway along Wyoming’s Highway 70 stretches across the Sierra Madre
Mountains from Encampment to Baggs. The scenic highway is open Memorial Day through
October. Historic sites along the way include Battle ghost town and the Edison Monument
commemorating the place where, while fishing on Battle Lake, Thomas Edison got the idea for
the first light-bulb filament. Battle Pass, on the Continental Divide, provides a sweeping view
of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Traffic on the highway is light and wide shoulders make
this an excellent bicycle route as well.
Outlaw Territory
Names as notable as Butch Cassidy and his infamous Wild Bunch, “holed-up” around the
town of Baggs during the hay-days of the Old West. The Gaddis Matthews House, which still
stands in the center of town, was known as a hang-out for Butch and his gang. Long after his
reported death in Bolivia in 1909, local residents insisted that Butch made several visits to
Baggs during hunting trips with friends in 1929 and 1930. Of course this is still hotly debated.
Hunting in Baggs:
Hunt for elk, deer, antelope, water fowl and more in this beautiful high desert landscape. Public
Lands around Baggs are abundant. Contact Wyoming Game and Fish for information on public
hunting areas. Local Outfitters are also great ways to enjoy hunting in this region and will
often provide hunters with access to private lands they might not ordinarily have access to.
Local outfitters also have the experience to make you hunt successful. |
