Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway - Wapiti Valley

 
Trail Town in Cody Wyoming going back toward Yellowstone we stopped at Old Trail Town ...
 
The old town is a treat to see and great for photos even from the outside looking in.
We also saw the original motorized RV nearby
A little outside of town on 14 we began to see some lovely and rugged terrain...
... huge hills or small mountains were all around...
... on goth sides of the highway.
Sharyn liked this boulder that had reshaped a tree...
...I liked the spires rising out of the ground...
... and Jilly loved just being in this part of the country.
We all liked the Big Boy in the canyon ...
...and this strange home. "The rambling log structure, with its undulating staircases, umpteen balconies and fun-house warren of half-finished rooms, has for nearly 30 years loomed over the Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway, inspiring stories."
The rock faces along the Wapiti Valley are great reminding me of Arched National Park without the arches...
... but with plenty of inspiring views...
... like these formations...
... or something that looks like the Great Wall of China...
... or the Hill Fort in Alwar.
It all is like magic pottery of the gods...
...shaped like familiar historic cities...
... waiting to be discovered...
... or to unlock some meaning in the images formed.
We found a herd of pronghorns on the west side of Buffalo Bill Reservoir ...
... slowly grazing close to the road...
... and we finally got spotted...
... and not wanting to disturb them took one last picture of the Reservoir and called it a day.
