Crazy Woman Canyon is located at the base of the Bighorns, near Buffalo, Wyoming.  It's hidden by the locals who won't even tell you what road to turn on to find the canyon.  So, when we set out to find it...we headed of in the general direction we were told...
Eventually, we made a guess and turned down what is now known to me as "sheep road"  (not it's real name).  And we continued driving.  First we came across the above valley and thought, "Gee that's kind of pretty."
Then, at the base of the mountains there were some interesting rock formations and we said, "Wow, that's pretty neat."
Then all of the sudden, we found what we had come looking for - and it was worth the drive!
Crazy Woman Canyon is named for Crazy Woman Creek (above) and there are several legends about the origin of the name.  Check out LEGEND to find out more.
