Although the pass over the Snowy Range Mountains Scenic Byway in Medicine Bow National Forest west of Laramie and Centennial, Wyoming is still closed and won’t open until Memorial Day weekend, the spring melt has started in the alpine country and the rivers (and fish) are rising! You can’t drive all the way through Barber…
