About this postcard

Colorful, eroded ridges and gullies fill a wide view of the Washakie Bad Lands in Wyoming, with scattered clouds above. U.S. Highway 16 between Worland and Ten Sleep crosses this dry, broken country at the edge of the Bighorn Mountains. For travelers starting the climb from Worland, the badlands are the first striking sight, a wild stretch of crumbling land that runs for miles along the road.
