Wind River Canyon

If you've ever wondered what Wind River Canyon would look like if you were a bird, wonder no more. There's a new video that will give you that viewpoint.

A semi-truck vs pickup truck accident Saturday afternoon caused the Wind River Canyon between Shoshoni and Thermopolis to close for several hours.

WYDOT officials said previously that they wanted the rock down before winter.

Beginning at 10 a.m. -- weather permitting -- crews will drop a large rock and other debris on and near the highway.

They had just stopped for one slide, when they caught the second.

The highway was reopened early Wednesday morning.

Motorists are advised to avoid stopping in the canyon.

Continued rainy weather and more falling rock may cause the closure of U.S. 20/Wyoming 789 through the canyon.

These views from NW Wyoming are absolutely stunning!
