Another full day. We went to The Wyoming Dinosaur Center. It was very interesting.
Next, we drove in the opposite direction through then Wind River Canyon Scenic Highway for about 20 miles, then turned onto a gravel road another 5 miles to the Legend Rock State Archaeological Site. There are numerous petroglyphs along the canyon wall. It was a short hike into the canyon, but the trail became more difficult to walk along – narrower, rocky, and unlevel. We got some good pictures of the petroglyphs and the canyon/trail where we hiked. It had warmed up to 75 and I was carefully watching the trail for rattlesnakes.
The rock steps I had to walk down on this “easy” trail.
After our hike for the day, we drove back to Thermopolis and drove through the Hot Springs State Park, where there are some thermal features and several hot springs that you can soak in.
The day ended at the Mexican restaurant. Clouds had been building in the sky all afternoon and it began raining while we were eating. After supper, back to the camper we headed and it is still raining, with severe thunderstorms in the forecast. Tomorrow, we head to “the parks” – Grand Teton & Yellowstone – staying at the Headwaters/Flagg Ranch situated between both parks.
