April 13 - Wind River Canyon










We arrived at Riverton, WY, a delightful western town about 11,000 population (for Wyoming a large community as the entire population of the state is less than 500,000.)
We stayed here for 3 days for rest and recuperation. On April 15 we took a drive up into the Wind River Canyon to Thermopolis, WY, another beautiful small community. Had a wonderful lunch (homemade strawberry/rubarb pie for dessert). Lou found a wonderful quilt store with 1000’s of bolts of fabric. It was heaven.
The Wind River Canyon is a geological canyon carved by the Wind River with bluffs of 2000 feet or more and home to Big Horn Mountain Sheep (or so the tourist info says, but we didn’t see any.)
