Here is another set of pictures of our June 3 outing, looking at the dams at Alcova, Wyoming. This set is of the actual reservoir created by Pathfinder Dam.

This first landscape was taken above where Below Pathfinder Dam with Flowers pictures were taken.

Ember found a claw from what appears to be (according to the Bug Guide) a Northern Crayfish (Orconectes virilis). (She is always finding various pieces of nature that most people never see.)
