Can you see the horses up on top of the mountain?
This picture is taken from I-90 going west just after going over
the Columbia River in Washington.
The fifteen horse sculptures were constructed out of welded steel plates by Spokane artist David Govedare. They were installed in 1989 for the Washington State Centennial Celebration. source The official name of the monument is "Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies."
On this trip to Montana we stopped to see the horses "up close." We took a look at the steep, rocky path from the parking lot and decided not to go up any closer.
The zoom lens got us a bit closer
From the parking lot we had this amazing view of the Columbia River

Not far from here we noticed signs for the town of "George." Wouldn't it be fun to say you were from "George, Washington!" The town was created/dedicated in 1957. Read more of its interesting history here. Many people travel to George, Washington for concerts at the Gorge Amphitheater.
