I'm happy for the money tourism brings but having family up here it gets a bit frustrating when every place is PACKED when I come up during the busy season. I'm thankful for this time in between winter and spring, the weather isn't bad and I'm almost always the only person one the trails. It's super peaceful and I love the solitude (I'm from the Detroit area so I need a break from people 🤣).

The opening of the canyon near Shoshone starts of in the Precambrian era nearly a billion years ago. The canyon ends in the Permian 250 million years ago. Nearly every geologic layer in the interim, covering the evolution of animal and plant life, is visible indexed like a library. When you exit the canyon toward Thermopolis, you enter the bright red sandstone and shales of the Triassic, when dinosaurs first began to evolve. Thermopolis itself is covered in the Jurassic and Cretaceous, the peak of dinosaurs. This area is famous for textbook geology.

My mom’s family is from right around there, and I have the BEST memories of Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear, Lake Michigan, my uncle’s & grandpa’s farm…the most gorgeous place in the world! My Aunt Dorothy had a little shop where she sold the pottery she made in the basement, and also petosky stone polishing kits with ‘the legend of Sleeping Bear’ in them. Very fond memories—thanks for your post! I loved it up there so much! Too many people now…
