Geology exposed in Wind River cuts south of Dubois, WyomingSedimentary rock exposure south of Dubois, Wyoming on US-26
The cut shown in this picture was formed by Dinwoody Creek not the Wind River. It is located a few short miles south of Dubois, Wyoming on US-26. That is the Wind River Range in the background. There is still a lot of snow covering the ground above 8,000-feet. The Wind River which has it's headwaters near Togowotee Pass on US-26 between Dubois and Moran Junction along the Continental Divide is at or above flood stage now. We have some picture of the Wind River at flood stage in Travellog 2011-115. We are going to be traveling over those snow capped mountains shortly and cover that in another travellog of the Wind River Range and Togowotee Pass on US-26. These brick red sedimentary rocks really remind me of the sedimentary rock exposed in Red Canyon south of Lander, Wyoming.
