North Fork
The North Fork of the Shoshone River flows out of the Absaroka Mountains in Shoshone National Forest. On this day, The smoke and haze in the photo probably came from several wildfires burning quite a way off to the west in Idaho, Oregon and California. Due to the western fires in US during the summer of 2021, Wyoming skies were often smoky or hazy. These smoky conditions were often a challenge for photographers like me who are accustomed to beautiful, clear Wyoming skies.
