Big Horn Canyon - Wow!

[MTBob]

Here are some more photos of the canyon showing some of the side canyon inlets. It is really hard to get a full grasp of the size and feel of the place with photos. The first photo shows the launching ramp access that was blasted out of a rock wall (this is at Barry's Landing, taking rt 37 north of Lovell Wyoming). It's a bit of a dicey deal in that you have to go nose first down the ramp, and then turn your rig around at the bottom - just barely enough room to make the swing - or, alternatively, back down around a curve, down hill to the ramp - a real bugger. I was able to just barely make the turn around swing with a 24" hitch extension on an long bed crew cab truck.

Launching ramp - Barry's Landing, note log boom to help keep the drift wood out of the launch ramp


"Camp site" - gravel parking lot - no services (my kind of place)


Typical inlet side canyon


Driftwood accumulated in inlet


One of several in-water outhouses
