Wind River Canyon 275 - 600 million years old!




Found a great drive between Riverton to Thermopolis, WY which runs by the Wind River.  The cliffs on both sides of the road and the river have dated back up to 600 million years old.  Really mind-blowing to think that the cliffs are really that old.  The second picture shows where the railroad drilled through the mountain for the trains.
