Badwater Creek at US-20

Immediately south of the turn-off for Bonneville is the bridge over Badwater Creek. We pulled the car off the highway and went hiking.

After leaving Badwater Creek, we went to Boysen State Park to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. The horizontal line halfway up the shot is the railroad tracks.

Tough Creek Road

For today's outing we went through Wind River Canyon once again.

Just past Birdseye Pass Road, which we explored yesterday, we arrived at Tough Creek Road.

The sights aren't the same as Birdseye Pass Road, but it was worth the drive. Below is a shot looking toward Boysen Reservoir.

Looking in the opposite direction from the location above, is this scenery.

The small hill above on the right is also seen below. Click here for a satellite image of this hill (note the small east-west road leading from the hill, across the dry creek bed, and to Tough Creek Road).

Here is the texture, looking straight up to the summit:

These rocks surround some of the base of the hill.

To get to the above hill, we took a single track road which crossed the dry creek bed seen below. Maybe this is Tough Creek. This shot is looking south:

This shot is looking north:

We then travelled back to Highway US-20.

US-20 is the highway you see on the left heading toward the center of the photograph.

On the way home, I stopped at one of the marinas to get these final two shots.
