Devils Gate and Sweetwater River, WY

Devil's Gate and Sweetwater River in Wyoming. This deep cleft cut through a rock ridge by the Sweetwater River drew diary comments from many pioneers. Many an emigrant puzzled at the geological oddity: why would the water chew directly through the rock instead of flowing around it. Many walked and waded in the Sweetwater River through the gorge while their wagons followed the trail through the pass to the east. Photo by the Bureau of Land Management.
