TRNP North Unit

Hi All,

The second major portion of TRNP is about 50 miles north. 

The erosion formations are more interesting, like this example of harder red sandstone protecting the softer clay creating unusual formations.


The orange balls are "cannonball concretions"

This Mesa along the Little Missouri River is covered in dark clay so it looks paved.

This view of the canyon was taken from a CCC overlook built in the 30's.

Geology buffs can read the sign, otherwise, just enjoy the view.

The North Unit scenic drive ends at this oxbow overlook.

Back at the coach we were relaxing and reading when Carl noticed motion outside. Three bull bison were browsing through the campground and came within five feet of the coach.
Tomorrow we drive to Billings for RV service and shopping before we go into Grand Teton.

Love,
