Here are some shots which contrast the effects of summer, autumn, and winter on the Bighorn River. In the first shot (looking south), the bridge leads to the main entrance of Hot Springs State Park.
On the left (below) is Monument Hill.


The following three shots were taken in October. The first looks across the river at The Wyoming Dinosaur Center & Dig Sites (the large building at the far right).


The shots above (looking south) and below (looking north) were taken on the south side of town.
