Bear River
Oxbow lakes and the Bear River. Oxbow lakes occur when the river cuts across one of its meanders, cutting off that part of the river and leaving a lake that is shaped a bit like an oxbow. I have never seen that many in the same place before.

Devil's slide is an unusual rock formation consisting of two parallel fins of rock that run vertically up the side of a hill. The fins are about 25 feet (7.6 meeters) apart and run hundreds of feet up the side of the hill. It is located in the Weber Canyon area of northern Utah and is visible from interstate I-84, about 45 minutes outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, there are pullouts in both directions on the interstate so you can stop and take a look.
