Crowheart Butte

Crowheart Butte is located in Fremont County on the way to Dubois.

The Eastern Shoshone had a good hunting tround in the Warm Valley (Wind River Mountains) until other tribes and white men tried to take it over. Chief Washakie sent his wife and a messenger to meet with the Crow's Chief Big Robber. Washakie suggested that the Crow hunt in the Owl Creek Mountains and leave the Shoshone with the area around Crowheart. The Crows wanted to wage a fight instead. Whoever wins would get the hunting grounds and the other tribe would have to leave.
Crowheart Butte was so named because of Washakie's victory. He displayed Big Robber's heart on his lance at the war dance after the battle.

Pictures from our home

Mrs. Rogers has had her faithful camera out again, and has taken some pictures from a Sunday drive around her home - the area known as Red River Gorge. We have a post about the gorge in which you can read a little about it, but I thought you might enjoy seeing some primary source pictures.

 

Driving through the gorge - had to stop and take this lovely picture

in the valley

There are lots of springs like this coming out of the mountains. In some places, this is the only drinking water people may have unless they drive to town. The water company will tell you this water is not safe to drink, but people have been drinking it for generations. It is always clear and cold. And yes......Mrs. Rogers has had a drink from several of these springs on hot summer days : )

There are lots of large rock outcroppings such as this in the Red River Gorge

See the hiker and his dog?

Kentucky farm - I think this horse is a breed called the Rocky Mountain

Mist on the mountains

The building in the back is the remains of an old one room school house that my husband's relatives attending as children.

Gannet Peak

Gannett Peak is the highest peak in Wyoming. It is considered to be mountain man country. It has five rugged glaciers on its flank, the largest glacier in the American Rocky Mountains. It is remote and considered an exciting alpine mountaineering challenge to climb to its top. The mountain was first climbed in 1922.This trip is best tackled by strong and experienced climbers with a great stamina and who are well acclimated to high elevations.The trip includes trans-versing glaciers that contain deep crevasses that in the early spring that can lay hidden under the coat of shallow snow.
