Wednesday 5th October

We both had a terrible night's sleep because of the traffic noise and the trains sounding their horns as they passed through Greybull all night! Who would have thought an out of the way place like Greybull would be so busy, and we didn't know when we booked that the railway was behind the houses on the other side of the street and our bedroom window faces the front and has very inefficient double glazing! 

Because the weather didn't look too good over the mountains we decided to drive up to Lovell to the Bighorn Visitor Centre and then up the canyon.

It was well worth a visit and the Bighorn Canyon was stunning. Sheer rock faces, towering cliffs, wonderfully varied colours of the stone and a river flowing in the bottom!

We ate our sandwiches gazing out on the canyon from the car as it was too cool to sit outside but the sun kept making an appearance and highlighted the colours of the rocks.

By the time we returned to Greybull the mountain road had reopened so we decided to drive up it for an hour

and we were rewarded with wonderful views of Shellcreek Canyon

as the road wound its way at the side of the river and on the way back we stopped at Shellcreek Falls which were lovely.

 I guess we will have an early night tonight and hope we will be so tired we'll fall asleep despite the noise!
