Yesterday Sarah, Matt, and I took advantage of the nice day and decided to check out some waterfalls in Wyoming that one of the teachers kept suggesting we go see. We're only about 35 miles from the Wyoming border, which is pretty neat.
We drove into Bighorn National Forest, which was an absolutely beautiful ride, winding through snowcapped mountain tops by pine-lined paths. Wish I got some photos along the way there.
It seemed to take forever to find Shell Falls, so we laughed when we finally did and the sign read "Shell Falls - CLOSED". But no matter, it was just closed for the season, but we could still walk over and see the view.
It was freezing up high on the mountains, so the waterfalls were actually frozen- but it looked pretty cool!
We continued past Shell falls, out of the Bighorn Forest, into the very small (population 83) and very old-time town of Shell, WY.
...and we stopped at the most Western-y spot I've been yet, an old western country store called Dirty Annie's.
We headed on home just as the sunset was painting everything pink. The scenes were stunning.
It was amazing that so much beautiful scenery is so close to flat old St. Xavier. It was a great afternoon adventure in Wyoming!
