Deweys Gate In The Late Afternoon

Deweys Gate rises up above the Sunlight Basin floor. The area in the foreground is the 7D Ranch which was called the Quarter Circle Ranch on some of the old maps.The flat valley floor was the site of a Pleistocene lake which formed behind an ice dam caused by a glacier. Deweys Gate is formed by cliffs of Paleozoic Carbonates. Beyond Deweys Gate, the Absaroka Mountains are mostly made up of volcanics from the Absaroka Volcanics. Supergroup.
