Hi All,
Today we drove the scenic highway to the town of Dubois, about 60 miles east of Grand Teton. We learned that it was pronounced "Due -Boys" (this is Wyoming not France;-).
The overnight rain washed a lot of smoke out of the air so it was really clear. We stopped at Oxbow Bend for this neat reflection.
Ramparts of eroded mountains were all along the highway
This is the Tie Hack monument, dedicated to the loggers who cut the railroad ties.
The Big Horn Sheep Center had wonderful films, displays and dioramas about the life of these mountain animals. Local efforts to preserve winter habitat has created the largest herd of big horn sheep in the state.
We drove into the area where the sheep winter but it was the wrong time of day as well as the wrong time of year.
Nearby along the highway were sandstone cliffs eroded reminiscent of the Badlands
Downtown Dubois - it looks like an old cowboy town and we even saw one walk across the street wearing spurs. The general store was founded in 1889!
More mountain ramparts on the way home.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
