Bighorn Canyon

 Living near the Beartooth Mountains is wonderful but it does tend to spoil us. Bighorn Canyon is only an hour or so to our east, but we have ignored the area up until now. So I was thrilled when my photography group, Shoot Like A Woman, decided to spend a day in the canyon last weekend.
 The goal was to photograph the area's wild horses but they remained elusive for most of the day. We did catch sight of one lone bachelor late in the afternoon but he was at a considerable distance from the road.
Not only is the canyon absolutely beautiful, it has a number of areas of historical significance. We spent a little time at the Ewing-Snell Ranch poking around amongst the old buildings and machinery.

 The colors of the landscape were magnificent, even on a gray March day.

We were lucky enough to see one bighorn ram near Barry's Landing.
