North to Wyoming
I can’t resist posting a couple more pics of Buckhorn Draw and the Wedge Overlook. We left the area a couple days ago, heading north through Flaming Gorge. This time on the west side of the gorge. To get from east to west one crosses over a gnarly mountain pass. We saw a couple of…
