wind river canyon

Driving this Wyoming canyon in winter can be a real white-knuckle experience.

Photos suggest that traffic was backed up for quite a while. And when the Powell Panthers Varsity Boys Soccer Team were coming back from a came and saw the situation, they did the only thing that made sense.

Flooding has also caused damage and displaced families in communities such as Sheridan.

This won't come as a surprise if you've had the pleasure of staying there, but a campsite in Wind River Canyon was just named one of America's best by a major magazine.

Officials say at this time of year coming into spring, the cycle of freezing and thawing causes rocks to move downhill.

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.
