Big, dry, stark, beautiful. Words fail me. This valley impressed me like no other I’ve been through. It sounds like a cliché by now, but I feel could paint the Thompson Valley for years without getting tired of it. The railroad snakes along both sides of the river, eastward on the left bank and westward on the right, as each bank is too narrow for a double track. Huge trains look like toys against the hills. The sky and water were an intense blue, and the few trees that can find purchase in the dry soil punctuate the clefts in the hills where a little water collects. Phenomenal.
