Rawlins, WY to Douglas, WY

A Rawlins, WY sunset 

from the hotel window!

The next few photos show the changing

topography of the Wyoming landscape.

 The snow fences seem to go

on for miles and miles.

 

A geological uplift.

The reds have begun

to be introduced.

Rolling sage brush of the 

High Plains.

This is a park dedicated to the

pioneers who rode west on the

Oregon Trail.

 

Independence Rock is behind me.

One of the landmarks that early

pioneers used heading for Oregon

was Independence Rock.  If you

look closely, you can see people are

climbing the rock!

When I saw this, I immediately thought

of Flaming Gorge in Utah and

Wyoming!  This is Alcova

Reservoir on Rt. 220.

This is the sign for the restaurant whnere

we had dinner this evening.  It truly 

was an authentic western eatery.  I think

the original floor boards were still

 in use!
