Looking for more WY ideas..

So last year we did a great two weeks in WY. We hit Laramie, Lander, Jackson Hole, Teton's, Yellow Stone, Bear Tooth Pass, Cody, Sheridan, and Devil's Tower.
This year we are looking for some new ideas of where to go and what to do.
Trip will be in Septemeber. We will be driving a truck with a slide in camper so we are fully self contained.
We would like to spend a day renting and riding ATVs somewhere...say maybe in the Big Horn Mountains. We also would enjoy spending a day on a river with a guide float fishing and enjoying the scenery.
Thanks in advance for your ideas and help!

    There's a recent trip report in the Truck Camper forum ('Rocky mountain high') that will point you towards some great spots.

    Since you want to go to the Big Horn Mountains, go on down the Hwy 16 towards Greybull and take the short side trip to Red Gulch to see the Dinosaur Tracks. There's a huge turn out back there and I don't see why you couldn't boondock for a night there. When we were there, there were no signs that said no camping. If you're self contained seems it wouldn't be a problem. Also visit Devils Kitchen. The turn off is also off of Hwy 16. Worth the drive back there. It's amazing. You didn't mention Chief Joseph Pass just outside of Cody. It's a beautiful day drive, steep and winding in places, but farmers tow over it all the time and there's a campground off this road, actual several, that are nice.

    Check out Thermopolis/Wind River Canyon areas. St. Anthony,ID for dune riding/four wheeling.
