Locomotives UP 8219 et 4072 en tête d'un Double-Stack en direction de l'Ouest (Basin, 7 février 2019)
A five mile long one way loop road travels through the Rainbow Basin. Since parts of the road require 4 wheel drive and high clearance, some people choose to walk it as this man and his dogs chose to do.
Happy Slider Sunday!

On our way back from exploring today, we took a four-wheel drive through Yankee Basin outside of Ouray. It was another great drive with amazing views all along the way. There is a stream next to the road that also gave us some nice waterfall opportunities. We read online before we came on the trip that July is the best month to see wildflowers in the mountains. Boy were they right. The mountains were full of colorful flowers on every trail we went on during this trip. There are so many areas to explore around Silverton and Ouray. I can't wait until my next trip back.
An eastbound Deseret Power Railway unit coal train rumbles through the curve at milepost 24 in colorful and remote Coyote Basin, Utah, on October 20, 2015.
Late summer early light dawns over Blue Lake and the ragged peaks surrounding the Sabrina Basin. A bit windy on this morning, eliminating any chance of a great sunrise reflection in the lake. The view is hard to top in the Sierra, no matter the conditions.
John Muir Wilderness. Kings Canyon NP boundary at the peak tops.
Two skeletons head home in their 1927 Buick (yhat has seen better days). This old car and skeletons with appropriate face mask were spotted in the Walker Basin in the Seirra Nevada Mountains in Kern County, California.
Built on an old mill pond, Bathurst Basin was once a busy dock surrounded by warehouses, a large hospital, infamous pubs, and a maze of smuggler caves. Now a peaceful residential area, the old hospital has been converted into flats and the old cider house, "The Ostrich Inn", is warm and welcoming, with good food and views with no ghostly smugglers in sight. Well, not in the day...
A sunny and warm winter morning made for some good time to explore the coastline yesterday along with my son. The Minas Basin is an interesting site to see rock formations that are sculpted by the world's highest tides.
The foot of Economy Mountain is seen here, cradling the Minas Basin. The Minas Basin is an inlet of the Bay of Fundy and a sub-basin of the Fundy Basin located in Nova Scotia, Canada. It is known for its extremely high tides. Tides here can exceed 16 metres (56 ft.). On low tide, all you would see here is mud, no water, and people walk on the mud to harvest clams.
Red Gulch Road crosses Red Basin southwest of Shell Wyoming in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. This photo was taken along the Red Gulch/Alkali National Backcountry Byway in Bighorn County.
This shot was taken from Governor Basin looking down to the road in the distance that goes up to Yankee Boy Basin. Roads to both basins (over 11,000 feet) were constructed by mining companies, though today they are used more frequently to access camping sites, hiking trails, meadows of wildflowers and spectacular scenery. The two peaks (from l to r) are Teakettle Mountain (13,819) and Potosi Peak (13, 786).
Deseret Power Railway’s afternoon coal train from Deserado Mine near Rangley, Colorado, to the power plant in Bonanza, Utah, crosses remote and stark Coyote Basin just past milepost 26 east of Bonanza on the afternoon of June 21, 2023.
Part of The Basin Falls along the Pemigawasett River in Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire. Taken late evening with ND12 and a polarizer.
For this trip we passed through Yellowstone twice staying there overnight each time. The park is so big that each time we get to go back try to stay in the various different 'quadrants' so we can see more of it each time.
Here using the CPL filter the colors and details there in the basin area were lovely there under the cloudy skies.
Considering the forecast was for clear sunny day, the clouds near sunset was an added bonus.
The patterns and colors there in the minerals are fun to compose around ... I think ;)
A southbound Union Pacific coal load crosses over Wyoming’s Logan Hill with trailing DPU unit KLWX No. 9530 bringing up the tail on June 28, 2024. This basic black 4,400 hp Knoxville Locomotive Works product is apparently testing on UP coal trains in Powder River Basin to see if a Tier 4-compliant remanufactured locomotive is possible equipped with a Cummins prime mover. The unit started out life as Burlington Northern EMD SD70MAC No. 9530.
I wish that I could tell you what peak this baby is, could be a part of Burroughs, I just don't know for sure, but it waits for you to exit the forest at the end of the Glacier Basin Trail and it's magnificent. There is a pack in campground here that folks who are going to summit Rainier set up camp at. The next day they will climb to Sherman and try and get some sleep, get up at 1 or 2 and climb to be at the summit at dawn and then back down here to revel in the experience. I saw several exuberant and exhausted hikers coming down. Hat's off to them. :-)
Either way you enter into The Mackenzie Basin, everyone notices a sudden change in the landscapes ahead of them. From the north as you wind your way around corners, often covered in low clouded hills, or from the straight stretches of the South your provided both ways with a sudden striking view ahead that peaks the senses. A long line of snow cloaked mountains pierce across the horizon as if rising our of nowhere. Often big blue sunny skies lay cast across golden tussock covered grasslands, making the mountainside have a velvet like feel to them with a contrasting array of bright colours, and some days even every colour in the rainbow can be found in this unforgettable region of New Zealand’s South Island..
Very easy to see why Badwater Basin draws in the crowds. This particular formation was a little further south from the herds. It wasn't too long after this visit that the area was covered in water.
Thanks for looking!
