Sunset at Mitchell's Pass - Just stepping a few feet off the road completely changes the perspective. This is what the pioneers fought their way across, not that nice smooth road off to the left.

This is a historic 144 mile route from Ogallala to the Wyoming border that roughly follows the path the pioneers took almost 200 years ago. While there is much to see and do here, I have chosen the amazing geological formations that those brave pioneers saw along the way to be the topic of this post.

That year, we left at the beginning of March when the cranes were just starting to arrive but what I saw in those first few weeks literary blew my mind!

    I am the 8th photographer in 4 generations of my family. Back in 2006, my husband accepted a job traveling and I jumped at the chance to go with him.  We have spent the last 11+ years traveling the United States.
