The West, in Pictures

Painted Canyon, in the badlands of North Dakota

We would have hiked the one-mile trail into the canyon,
but time demanded we press forward to get to our hotel...

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep."
--Robert Frost



Above: a bald eagle watches the highway from a dead tree near Browning, Montana.
Right: Cattle wander across the highway at the entrance of Montana's Going to the Sun Highway.



(This is the kind of sunset that cowboys are supposed to ride into.)
