Thanks David and Bill. I look forward to next year's drive and hope for
some snow to make it interesting.

Indeed, Aram, a poor and sad outcome for the cow.
OTOH, I, like Bill, enjoyed your photos. Nice series!

Sad story.
After they left this resting area they headed about 2 miles further up the
highway. A few cars were following. One cow was really slow so we were
well back of the main herd when the left the road for the pasture by the
river. From the distance I saw
one cow venture down a side road to the river followed by two cowboys. My
next view, the cow was knee deep. I guess even though it was not hot out,
the cows get hot on their jaunt down the road as they are not use to such a
long walk. The next view saw
the cow way out in deep water and the cowboys were getting concerned. Then
the swift water caught her and she was swept down stream. A bunch of
cowboys and girls made a mad dash up the road past us. We could not see the
cow now as the cliff was about 100
feet above the river where we were. One of the brave cowgirls took her
horse over the ledge and headed down. The traffic started to move, so we
had to move, too, but someone in camera club was behind us and was able to
pull over in a wide spot and watch
as they tried to rope her. Then he had to move, but we learned later that
they lost the cow and calf. It was just too much for her. Sad outcome.
