Cody to the Big Horn Mountains











Travelling frrom Cody, we croseds the rolling hills of Wyoming. There were a number of oil wells dotting the dry landscape. We then climbed the last mountain range of this trip, the Big Horn range. It is amazing how the temp dropped from 100F to 60F in 30 minutes while climbing Power River Pass to the top and at 9,600 ft. The rocks behind the bikes by the stop sign are pre-cambrian, more than 3 1/2 billion years old. We then descended down to Buffalo, joining the superslab I-90 for the boring trip back east.
