Wind River Canyon

Wind River Canyon is a scenic 11.0 mile canyon through the Owl Creek Mountains. The canyon is 1.3 - 2.0 miles wide with walls that reach 2,400 feet in height. The Wind River flows north through the canyon out of Boysen Reservoir. At the end of the canyon the river oddly changes names midstream to the Bighorn River. This unusual occurrence takes place at a point known as Wedding of the Waters. The road through the canyon provides a nice drive, many pullouts, and 2 picnic areas.
