following the east through the .

First post of the - reposted to add series tag and number: 1/23

FYI all photos were taken with a Moto G Stylus (2022), most using (specifically Google Camera LMC 8.4) in HDR+ Enhanced mode. A few were taken with the native Moto Camera app. Usually I process them a bit in Google Photos to de-tilt as needed and correct the colors.

For extra atmosphere, most all were taken through the (very) dirty windows of the California Zephyr, which are thick, green, covered in water spots, and quite reflective, especially when the photo is taken at any angle at all.

More taken from the - the Missouri River bottoms near .

After all the lead-up, the Missouri River was surprising brief and anti-climactic. A lot of the surrounding lakes and sloughs look just like it - not surprising since the are all located in old river beds.

8th set of photos taken from the , as it winds along the through the .

Finally we are entering infamous . Railroad or white water raft are the only possible ways to access this rugged canyon, lined with sheer, 3000 foot granite cliffs. The river drops 300 feet in the space of just 3 miles, creating a series of Class IV and V rapids.

You can see why the railroad had a hell of a time building this section. You'd better read about it:
