I had a free afternoon today, so I took a drive to the northwest to get some landscape photos in the Crazy Mountains. I have never set foot in the Crazies before, so I was interested so see what there was in terms of camping and exploring. See, the Crazies are a really interesting group of mountains. They are an island range, surrounded on all sides by rolling hills and plains. The surrounding landscape is almost exclusively private ranch and farm land, which makes accessing these mountains very difficult. As such, the opportunities for getting lost are few and far between. I knew that there are a couple campgrounds down this particular road, so I went to check them out.
I found this old cabin up on a hill. I sure am jealous of these people. This is one nice place, and the view is really hard to beat.
I left the cabin, as photogenic as it was, and I headed further into the mountains.
The creek flowing out of the mountains has carved a fairly deep gorge leading out of the valley. I was not expecting that, and was really surprised by the giant hole in the ground when I spotted it from the road.
The mountains here are impressive. Rugged and vertical like their neighbors to the south, the Beartooths and Absarokas, but nowhere near as vast. They sure are majestic though, especially considering they just rise out of nowhere.
And of course, the obligatory truck photo! I really love the way the truck looks with the awning on there.
