Wind River Canyon Scenic Byway, Shoshoni, WY to Thermopolis, WY

This is truly a beautiful drive that takes maybe an hour and a half round trip.  What out for falling rocks, no joke, sometimes it is actually falling boulders.

The strangest part about this trip is that the river looks like it is travelling the wrong direction.  I do not know how it is possible, but that river seems very wrong.

You travel on one side of the river and there are train tracks on the other side of the river.  Talking about falling boulders, the one of the right in this picture actually fell onto the track and they had to push it into the river.

While we were driving this they were working on taking out another boulder on the vehicle side of the river that was enormous and there were rocks that had recently fallen onto the road at the start of our trip.

That being said, if you have a sunroof and can look out the top of your car do it as you pass through here.  Not if you are driving of course.

When you get to the Thermopolis part of the trip there is a dam called the Boysen Dam.  It is an amazing sight and there is a place to pull off and view the dam.

Below is a picture above the dam.

Wind River Canyon Scenic Byway is a very pretty drive.  If you have a moment I suggest taking it in, just be careful and pay attention.
