Thermopolis Mineral Hot Springs 2019, part 4 - Wondrous Wyoming - Wondrous Wyoming


Last time I introduced you to some of the geese who reside in this place of beauty.

This time, I share a few of the more random pictures I took.

I like this bit of artwork, a tipi plus the buffalo "in the distance" makes a lovely view.

At the other end of the swinging bridge, this is where the geese were standing in some of the earlier pictures - it doesn't look very hospitable, in fact, it looks downright fragile and brittle.

I love this view from across the swinging bridge over the Bighorn River.

 

After awhile, we took a drive above the park area - into more unspoilt landscape.

Old places where hot springs once rested, now sunken through the thin crusty soil... And filled in with plenty of new life.

Stunning micro-landscapes created by these sinking events.

Here is where the famous hot spring one rested - apparently.

Turn around and look at the back side of the butte that has the writing on it inviting everyone to the hot springs...
