Overview

Scenic Crazy Woman Canyon Road winds alongside Crazy Woman Creek through the rugged beauty of Wyoming’s Bighorn National Forest. Few drives in the intermountain West can rival its sheer charm. This is more than just a road—it’s an experience worth seeking out.

From the oxide-stained cliffs and jagged rock formations to the rushing rapids of the lower canyon, every stretch offers something striking. As you climb toward the Powder River Pass, the canyon opens into wider expanses, with tranquil trout pools tucked along the creek. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, roll down the windows, and take it all in.

For those wanting to linger, the route is dotted with dispersed campsites, making it a perfect destination for both a day’s drive and an overnight adventure. Crazy Woman Canyon isn’t to be missed.
