Dead Cedar Remains At Devils Canyon In The Bighorn River Stock Image

Standing dead cedar tree on the rim of the deeply eroded canyon of the Bighorn river in Southern Montana. Steep vertical canyon walls lead to a wide river bottom contained by the yellowtail dam. Red iron rich soils color the rocky walls a striking red color with the muddy green river flowing through. The harsh climate and low rainfall limit the vegetation to scrub cedars and sagebrush. Early September with a mostly sunny sky with a haze from the smoke from Canadian wildfires.
