Eastern Wyoming and the Bighorn Mountains

Devils Tower

Although this may mostly interest geology-nuts like myself, here is a photo (with climbers) of the upper (highly eroded) part of Devils Tower National Monument.

Devils Tower

Here is a photo (with climbers) of the lower (weakly eroded) part of Devils Tower.

Bighorn Mountains

This was taken in the Bighorn mountains of north central Wyoming near a USDA Forest Service road.

Mountain Stream

This was also taken in the Bighorn mountains. It is in "Crazy Woman Canyon".

Western Foothills of the Bighorns

The was taken along the western foothills of the Bighorns. I was on the Bureau of Land Management's Red Gulch/Alkali Backcountry Byway. Of the 32 miles on the road, 26 or so were fine for 2-wheel drive. The other 6 or so were pretty nasty. High clearance would have definitely helped. Anyways, the terrain was beautiful. The colors of the soil are positively stunning. I strongly recommend this road if you get the chance.

Western Foothills and the Rise of the Bighorns

The was also taken along the Red Gulch/Alkali Backcountry Byway. The Bighorns mountains rise up in the background. It is difficult to take photos here due to a lack of strong features, but this is pretty representative of the terrain.

Bighorn National Forest

The was taken along the eastern edge of the Bighorns from R 14 where the mountains rapidly drop to the plains below.
