Gaint Castle Mountain and North Fork Of The Shoshone

At 10,026 feet (3,056m) Gaint Castle Mountain rises above the North Fork of the Shoshone. The Green roofs on the extreme left of the photo are Cabins at Pahaska Teepee, Buffalo Bills historic hunting lodge. This scene was photographed along the North Fork Highway (US 14/16/20) in Shoshone National Forest west of Cody Wyoming. The rocks on the mountain and the surrounding area belong to the Eocene Absaroka Volcanics Supergroup which is the remnant of a volcanic field that was active in the Eocene between 53 and 43 million years ago.
