A red volcanic hill under the Absaroka wall

Fig. 1A red volcanic hill under the Absaroka wall

Landform

A high road through Absaroka volcanic country. Red and orange hills sit in green parkland, with limestone mountains standing behind them.

Field note

The byway climbs from Cody toward Dead Indian Pass and the Beartooth. In late light the volcanic slope goes copper against the grass. Most cars are going to Yellowstone and never stop here.
