Area 95 covers the southern Absaroka front near Meeteetse—the country between the Greybull River and the Owl Creek Mountains where the Absaroka Range descends into the Bighorn Basin. Elevations run from about 5,500 feet on the basin floor near Meeteetse to over 12,000 feet on the Absaroka divide. The lower country is classic Bighorn Basin sage and grass benches with eroded badlands and irrigated hay meadows along the Greybull River; mid-elevations climb through mountain mahogany, juniper, and Douglas fir on the foothills; the upper country grades into lodgepole, spruce-fir, and alpine country in the Washakie Wilderness backstop. Carter Mountain to the north and the Greybull canyon system define the geography. The Absaroka volcanic geology gives the high country its characteristic crumbling ridges and avalanche chutes. Shoshone National Forest and the Washakie Wilderness cover the upper country, with BLM, state trust, and significant private ranch on the foothills. The Pitchfork Ranch country south of Meeteetse is some of the historic sheep-and-cattle range that defined Bighorn Basin ranching. Forest roads from Meeteetse provide access. Meeteetse is small with gas and the Cowboy Bar; Cody is the full-service supply hub. Cell service drops past town. Mule deer in the foothill mahogany, elk in the timber and wilderness, antelope on the basin sage. Grizzly country in the upper drainages.
