POTD: Tail End

Tail End
Bighorn Canyon, Montana
2026

Or should I say upper end as this is actually the upstream end of Bighorn Lake behind the Yellowtail Dam. But the reservoir shape here gives the feel of a tail rather than a head. In either case, it’s a favorite place of ours as it is very reminiscent of country in the southwest U.S. but we can visit it without leaving the state, not to mention without the crowds you often come across in the southwest these days.

I know that was true for both the Fashion Queen and I.
