It is truly amazing the amount of variety in the landscape here, fjords, mountains, tundra, cliffs and ocean. One of the features that surprised me the first time I saw it here, are our “badlands”. There are several areas in the immediate vicinity that have hoodoos and other wind eroded features, but the most accessible is the area known locally as Cowboy Canyon. It is also called Cowboy Land depending on who you ask.
These scanned slides are from one of my earliest trips out there, and it has been a few years since my last trip, and I’ve not been back with a digital camera.
There are, of course, hoodoos…
… and balancing rocks …
… and a huge rock with a hole in it…
… big enough to drive a snowmobile through…
and places where those who are newly falling in love can pose.
By way of a bonus, here is a short video of Leah sliding down the slopes of Cowboy Canyon. It is not me that is laughing at the end by the way.

No really Terri. I’m the guy part way down the hill you just get a glimpse of. Although I’ll admit, if you turn the volume up I think you can hear me say “Everything alright Babe?” (either that or its laughter).
