Scenic Drives

Scenic drives are all over the map.  We chose one headed toward the Grand Tetons.  We drove through the Powder River Canyon with sandstone walls on each side of the road.

This road took us to Buffalo, WY another small town that has kept itself lovely.

Since 1879, the Occidental Hotel has been the place to stay in Buffalo.

Such famous personages as Ernest Hemingway, Theodore. Roosevelt, the outlaw Tom Horn, etc. have their photos in the hallway.  The one that caught Anna Lee’s attention was Owen Wister. He always reminds her of a special junior high English teacher (another story for another time).

Crazy Woman is all over the place, river, businesses and the town center.  There are many different stories for the source of her name but the truest one is that she is still around.

The town is also known for Wahoo Frontier Toppings, a maker of sauces, jams and ketchups.  Samples are now on board.

The next scenic drive criss-crossed over the winding Wind River.  To our surprise in mid June, we found ourselves driving over the Continental Divide in a light snow storm.

Even the deer in the meadows seemed surprised and photo shy.
