Early this morning, Rosie woke Noelle up because she had to go to the bathroom. When Noelle took her out, she was greeted by a moose in the campsite next to ours! Noelle woke Sierra and I up and we went out of the tent to have a look. Eventually, we got out of our sleeping bags for good, ate breakfast, packed up our campsite and hit the road. We headed down and out of the mountains via Tensleep Canyon. It was a very scenic drive, but the temperature rose steadily as we descended.
I noticed a place on the map called Castle Gardens (one of two Castle Gardens in Wyoming) and so we made our way there after we drove through the town of Tensleep. The Tensleep Castle Gardens are an interesting place. Unfortunately, the rough, washboarded road into the site made Sierra feel car sick. While Noelle attended to Sierra, I had a look around. I climbed up to the top of the bluff nearest to where we parked and found an impressive natural arch.
The views from the top were impressive.
I explored the rim a bit before heading down to Noelle and Sierra. I had a quick look around in the lower areas.
Then Sierra started to feel better. The improvement of her condition, coupled with the hot temperatures, encouraged us to get back on the road again. It was a quick visit, but if we are ever headed back this way again, I might stop to have another look around.
