Photo by Mack H. Frost / The Grinnell Creek Cliffs, otherwise known as the Sleeping Giant or The Cat. This view is from the turnout with the vault toilet half way up Sylvan Pass, looking back to the northeast. The Cliffs are a ridge that separates Grinnell Creek on the west from Mormon Creek on the east. The large curving mountain in the upper right of this photo is the actual Sleeping Giant Mountain. Some people, myself included, think the Cliffs resemble a sleeping cat, with its feet stuck out in front of its head with its pert ears, and the hump of its back.
See all our photography at our gallery, Open Range Images, 1201 Sheridan Avenue, in downtown Cody, Wyoming, open seven days a week, 10 AM to 9 PM.
